The patch titled aio: make good_sigevent() non-static has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is make-good_sigevent-non-static.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: aio: make good_sigevent() non-static From: Sébastien Dugué <sebastien.dugue@xxxxxxxx> Move good_sigevent() from posix-timers.c to signal.c where it belongs, clean it up, rename it to sigevent_find_task() to better describe what the function does and make it non-static so that it can be used by other subsystems.
