The patch titled block: remove kblockd_flush_work() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was block-remove-kblockd_flush_work.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: block: remove kblockd_flush_work() From: Cheng Renquan <crquan@xxxxxxxxx> After many improvements on kblockd_flush_work, it is now identical to cancel_work_sync, so a direct call to cancel_work_sync is suggested. The only difference is that cancel_work_sync is a GPL symbol, so no non-GPL modules anymore.
