[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Subject: kthread: rename probe_kthread_data() to kthread_probe_data()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kthread-rename-probe_kthread_data-to-kthread_probe_data.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
Subject: kthread: rename probe_kthread_data() to kthread_probe_data()

Patch series "kthread: Kthread worker API improvements"

The intention of this patchset is to make it easier to manipulate and
maintain kthreads.  Especially, I want to replace all the custom main
cycles with a generic one.  Also I want to make the kthreads sleep in a
consistent state in a common place when there is no work.


This patch (of 11):

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the
subsystem.

This patch fixes the name of probe_kthread_data().  The other wrong
functions names are part of the kthread worker API and will be fixed
separately.
