The patch titled s390/net/lcs: convert to the kthread API has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is s390-net-lcs-convert-to-the-kthread-api.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: s390/net/lcs: convert to the kthread API From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Use kthread_run to start the lcs kernel threads not a combination of kernel_thread and daemonize. This makes the code slightly simpler and more maintainable.
