The patch titled Subject: dnotify: move dnotify sysctl to dnotify.c has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was dnotify-move-dnotify-sysctl-to-dnotifyc.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: dnotify: move dnotify sysctl to dnotify.c The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. So move dnotify sysctls to dnotify.c and use the new register_sysctl_init() to register the sysctl interface.
