The patch titled
Use list_head in binfmt handling
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
use-list_head-in-binfmt-handling-update.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Use list_head in binfmt handling
From: Alexey Dobriyan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads
to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside
is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since
the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
something distro enabled for you).
Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.
