The patch titled libata-core: convert to use cancel_rearming_delayed_work() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was libata-core-convert-to-use-cancel_rearming_delayed_work.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: libata-core: convert to use cancel_rearming_delayed_work() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> We should not use cancel_work_sync(delayed_work->work). This works, but not good. We can use cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), this also simplifies the code.
