It's on archive.org, marked rejected: <https://web.archive.org/web/20180829170737/https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1541/> or alternatively: <https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/210989/> (with no proper status). Given the note it might make sense to re-evaluate the patch.

Note that a copy of the LMO tree remains available online at: <git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git>, so any references or git commit IDs are reachable. Perhaps it would be good to add an actual reference somewhere though. Maciej

Perhaps better to wholesale copy the content and keep it around somewhere else like lore.kernel.org.

I made a request to kernel.org infrastructure team to create a wiki site for linux-mips project to restore contents from old linux-mips.org back in April. I think that would be another approach as I saw PA-RISC migrated their wiki site to kernel.org as well. Thanks. - Jiaxun > >
Dear all, on 2021-02-22, I reported that: The domain lookup for linux-mips.org fails for quite some time now. Hence, webpages, the patchwork instance and Ralf Baechle's email there is not reachable anymore. In the discussion of that patch series, Kurt Martin promised to get linux-mips.org back online. Four months have now passed and the webpage is still not back online. So, I suggest to remove these dead references. Probably, we do not lose much if the linux-mips.org webpage never comes back. The domain lookup for linux-mips.org fails for quite some time now. Hence, webpages, the patchwork instance and Ralf Baechle's email there is not reachable anymore. Here is in more detail what I did to create this patch series: First, I updated all sections in MAINTAINERS for references with linux-mips.org. Then, I also quickly scanned through the whole git tree for linux-mips.org references, and step-wise filtered out obvious copyright holder lines and references to old email addresses. git ls-files | xargs grep "linux-mips.org" | \ grep -v -i "Copyright" | grep -v -i "MODULE_AUTHOR" | grep -v -i "written" | \ grep -v "Ralf" | grep -v "Maciej" | grep -v "Yoichi" | grep -v "Ladislav" I removed dead references or replaced them with their living counterparts if available. However, these two cases remain and somebody might want to have a look: 1. case in ./arch/mips/include/asm/page.h: <snip> /* * RELOC_HIDE was originally added by 6007b903dfe5f1d13e0c711ac2894bdd4a61b1ad * (lmo) rsp. 8431fd094d625b94d364fe393076ccef88e6ce18 (kernel.org).

Although GCC 3.x is long retired, it is unclear what https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1541/ is and if it has been already applied or not. Question: does anyone know how to identify this patch? 2. case in ./drivers/parport/parport_ip32.c: linux-mips.org tree is referred to in an old To do item: <snip> * To do: * * Fully implement ECP mode. * EPP and ECP mode need to be tested. I currently do not own any * peripheral supporting these extended mode, and cannot test them. * If DMA mode works well, decide if support for PIO FIFO modes should be * dropped. * Use the io{read,write} family functions when they become available in * the linux-mips.org tree. Note: the MIPS specific functions readsb() * and writesb() are to be translated by ioread8_rep() and iowrite8_rep() * respectively. </snip> Decision: Keep as is; anyone that wants to follow up on this will probably understand that the reference is outdated anyway. Please comment on these clean-up patches on this administrative topic. Patch set applies cleanly on next-20210624.
