The patch titled attribute_container: update to use the group interface has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was attribute_container-update-to-use-the-group-interface.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: attribute_container: update to use the group interface From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch is the beginning of moving the attribute_containers to use attribute groups exclusively. The attr element is now deprecated and will eventually be removed (along with all the hand rolled code for doing exactly what attribute groups do) when all the consumers are converted to attribute groups.
