The patch titled disable sys_timerfd() for 2.6.23 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was disable-sys_timerfd-for-2623.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: disable sys_timerfd() for 2.6.23 From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> There is still some confusion and disagreement over what this interface should actually do. So it is best that we disable it in 2.6.23 until we get that fully sorted out. (sys_timerfd() was present in 2.6.22 but it was apparently broken, so here we assume that nobody is using it yet).
