The patch titled
futex-pi: Enforce waiter bit when owner died is detected
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
futex-pi-enforce-waiter-bit-when-owner-died-is-detected.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: futex-pi: Enforce waiter bit when owner died is detected
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
simplifies the glibc handling of the possible race from userspace tasks which
try to get hold of the lock and cleanup the mess which was leftover by the
unexpectedly died previous owner.
