The patch titled workqueue: kill NOAUTOREL works has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is workqueue-kill-noautorel-works.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: workqueue: kill NOAUTOREL works From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> We don't have any users, and it is not so trivial to use NOAUTOREL works correctly. It is better to simplify API. Delete NOAUTOREL support and rename work_release to work_clear_pending to avoid a confusion.
