The patch titled sgi-gru: call gru_init() at fs_initcall() level has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sgi-gru-call-gru_init-at-fs_initcall-level.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: sgi-gru: call gru_init() at fs_initcall() level From: Dean Nelson <dcn@xxxxxxx> If xpc.ko and gru.ko are both statically linked into the kernel, then xpc_init() can get called before gru_init() and make a call to one of the gru's exported functions before the gru has initialized itself. The end result is a NULL dereference.
