The patch titled powerpc: assign PDE->data before gluing PDE into /proc tree has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was powerpc-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: powerpc: 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. No need to check for data!=NULL after that. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
