The patch titled
Linux Kernel Markers: fix marker mutex not taken upon module load
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
linux-kernel-markers-fix-marker-mutex-not-taken-upon-module-load.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Linux Kernel Markers: fix marker mutex not taken upon module load
From: Mathieu Desnoyers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Upon module load, we must take the markers mutex. It implies that the marker
mutex must be nested inside the module mutex.
It implies changing the nesting order : now the marker mutex nests inside the
module mutex. Make the necessary changes to reverse the order in which the
mutexes are taken.
Includes some cleanup from Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
