The patch titled i386 balance_irq: convert to the kthread API has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was i386-balance_irq-convert-to-the-kthread-api.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: i386 balance_irq: convert to the kthread API From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch just trivial converts from calling kernel_thread and daemonize to just calling kthread_run. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
