The patch titled I2O: handle sysfs_create_link() failures has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was i2o-handle-sysfs_create_link-failures.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: I2O: handle sysfs_create_link() failures From: Wang Chen <wangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Compile warning: ignoring return value of `sysfs_create_link', declared with attribute warn_unused_result. If sysfs_create_link failed, take care of the return value and do some error handle after the failure. Since sysfs_remove_link() will check whether a link exists, when removing the link in error path, we don't need to care whether a link was created.
