The patch titled Make XFS workqueues nonfreezable has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was make-xfs-workqueues-nonfreezable.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Make XFS workqueues nonfreezable From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@xxxxxxx> Since freezable workqueues are broken in 2.6.21-rc (cf. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116855740612755, http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=117261312523921&w=2) it's better to change the only user of them, which is XFS, to use "normal" nonfreezable workqueues.
