The patch titled mutex: improve header comment to be actually informative about the API has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mutex-improve-header-comment-to-be-actually-informative-about-the-api.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: mutex: improve header comment to be actually informative about the API From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> It's nice to say that mutex_trylock follows the spin_trylock convention. It's a lot nicer if the comment also says which that is... make it so.
