The patch titled aio: remove unused field has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was aio-remove-unused-field.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: aio: remove unused field From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@xxxxxxxxx> Don't know the reason, but it appears ki_wait field of iocb never gets used.
