The patch titled phonedev: remove BKL has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was phonedev-remove-bkl.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: phonedev: remove BKL From: Richard Holden <aciddeath@xxxxxxxxx> The phone_device array is covered by the phone_lock mutex in all cases and request_module no longer needs the BKL so we can remove the only remaining instance of the BKL from phonedev.
