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]
