The patch titled net: assign PDE->data before gluing PDE into /proc tree has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was net-assign-pde-data-before-gluing-pde-into-proc-tree.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: net: assign PDE->data before gluing PDE into /proc tree From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@xxxxxxxxxx> Simply replace proc_create and further data assigned with proc_create_data. Additionally, there is no need to assign NULL to PDE->data after creation, /proc generic has already done this for us. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
