The patch titled futex: futex_wait_requeue_pi commentary corrections has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was futex-futex_wait_requeue_pi-commentary-corrections.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: futex: futex_wait_requeue_pi commentary corrections From: Darren Hart <dvhltc@xxxxxxxxxx> The state machine described in the comments wasn't updated with a follow-on fix. Address that and cleanup the corresponding commentary in the function.
