The patch titled
modules: de-mutex more symbol lookup paths in the module code
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
modules-de-mutex-more-symbol-lookup-paths-in-the-module-code.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: modules: de-mutex more symbol lookup paths in the module code
From: Rusty Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Kyle McMartin reports sysrq_timer_list_show() can hit the module mutex from
hard interrupt context. These paths don't need to though, since we long ago
changed all the module list manipulation to occur via stop_machine().
Disabling preemption is enough.
