The patch titled drivers/char: use LIST_HEAD instead of LIST_HEAD_INIT has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-char-use-list_head-instead-of-list_head_init.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: drivers/char: use LIST_HEAD instead of LIST_HEAD_INIT From: Denis Cheng <crquan@xxxxxxxxx> single list_head variable initialized with LIST_HEAD_INIT could almost always can be replaced with LIST_HEAD declaration, this shrinks the code and looks better.
