The patch titled usb-serial: Prepare for BKL push down has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was usb-serial-prepare-for-bkl-push-down.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: usb-serial: Prepare for BKL push down From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Take the lock in usb-serial instead. As it relies on the BKL internally we can't push it any deeper yet.
