The patch titled auerswald: fix file release handler has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was auerswald-fix-file-release-handler.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: auerswald: fix file release handler From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If this down_interruptible() does fail due to signal_pending() then the state of the driver will get trashed in interesting ways, because userspace cannot and will not retry the close().
