The patch titled sas_scsi_host: partially convert to use the kthread API has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sas_scsi_host-partially-convert-to-use-the-kthread-api.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sas_scsi_host: partially convert to use the kthread API From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch modifies the sas scsi host thread startup to use kthread_run not kernel_thread and deamonize. kthread_run is slightly simpler and more maintainable. akpm: the driver should also be converted to use kthread_should_stop() and kthread_stop().
