The patch titled netconsole: Use netif_running() in write_msg() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was netconsole-use-netif_running-in-write_msg.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: netconsole: Use netif_running() in write_msg() From: Satyam Sharma <satyam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
