The patch titled
     Subject: kthread: add the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kthread-add-the-helper-function-kthread_run_on_cpu.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Cai Huoqing <caihuoqing@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kthread: add the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu()

the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() includes
kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process().  In some cases, use
kthread_run_on_cpu() directly instead of
kthread_create_on_node/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() or
kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process() or
kthreadd_create/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() to simplify the code.

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: export kthread_create_on_cpu to modules]
