The patch titled pm-qos-remove-locks-around-blocking-notifier has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was pm-qos-remove-locks-around-blocking-notifier.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into pm-qos-infrastructure-and-interface.patch The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: pm-qos-remove-locks-around-blocking-notifier From: mark gross <mgross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Remove spin locking around all blocking notifier calls that can sleep. I had to re-structure some of the code to avoid locking issues.
