The patch titled s390/scsi/zfcp_erp: partially convert to use the kthread API has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was s390-scsi-zfcp_erp-partially-convert-to-use-the-kthread-api.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: s390/scsi/zfcp_erp: partially convert to use the kthread API From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Modify zfcperp%s to be started with kthread_run not a combination of kernel_thread, daemonize and siginitsetinv making the code slightly simpler and more maintainable. akpm: this driver needs to be taught about kthread_stop() and kthread_should_stop(), too.
