The patch titled Subject: mutex-subsystem-synchro-test-module-fix-2 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mutex-subsystem-synchro-test-module-fix-2.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mutex-subsystem-synchro-test-module.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mutex-subsystem-synchro-test-module-fix-2 BTW, why not just do kthread_run(mutexer, (void *)loop, "Mutex%u", loop); instead of kernel_thread(mutexer, (void *)loop, 0); etc. and kill daemonize() calls in there, while we are at it?
