The quilt patch titled Subject: reboot: move reboot_notifier_list to kernel/reboot.c has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was reboot-move-reboot_notifier_list-to-kernel-rebootc.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Thomas WeiÃ?schuh <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: reboot: move reboot_notifier_list to kernel/reboot.c Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2024 19:52:53 +0200 All the functions related to the reboot notifier list are in kernel/reboot.c. Move the list itself, too. As there are no direct users anymore, make the declaration static.
