The patch titled hci_usb: replace mb with smp_mb has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hci_usb-replace-mb-with-smp_mb.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: hci_usb: replace mb with smp_mb From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@xxxxxxxxx> smp_mb is enough for ordering memory operations among processors,and mb is more expensive than smp_mb for UP machine, so replace it with smp_mb().
