The patch titled
parport: "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
parport-dev-timeslice-is-an-unsigned-long-not-an-int.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: parport: "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int
From: Eric Dumazet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
While auditing proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() usage in kernel, I found
a bug in drivers/parport/procfs.c, incorrectly using sizeof(int) instead of
sizeof(unsigned long)
Only 64bit arches are affected by this old bug.
