The patch titled schedule_on_each_cpu(): use preempt_disable() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was schedule_on_each_cpu-use-preempt_disable.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: schedule_on_each_cpu(): use preempt_disable() From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> We take workqueue_mutex in there to keep CPU hotplug away. But preempt_disable() will suffice for that.
