The patch titled proc: Remove unnecessary and misleading assignments from proc_pid_make_inode has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-remove-unnecessary-and-misleading-assignments.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: proc: Remove unnecessary and misleading assignments from proc_pid_make_inode From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The removed fields are already set by proc_alloc_inode. Initializing them in proc_alloc_inode implies they need it for proper cleanup. At least ei->pde was not set on all paths making it look like proc_alloc_inode was buggy. So just remove the redundant assignments. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
