The patch titled x86_64: remove nested irq disables has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86_64-apic-remove-nested-irq-disable.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86_64: remove nested irq disables From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> setup_APIC_timer disables interrupts anyway. So no need to do the same in setup_boot_APIC_clock and setup_secondary_APIC_clock. Disable interrupts explicit in the calibration code.
