The patch titled ecryptfs: remove unnecessary mux from ecryptfs_init_ecryptfs_miscdev() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ecryptfs-remove-unnecessary-mux-from-ecryptfs_init_ecryptfs_miscdev.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: ecryptfs: remove unnecessary mux from ecryptfs_init_ecryptfs_miscdev() From: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@xxxxxxxxxx> The misc_mtx should provide all the protection required to keep the daemon hash table sane during miscdev registration. Since this mutex is causing gratuitous lockdep warnings, this patch removes it.
