The patch titled simply fix first_tgid has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-remove-tasklist_lock-from-proc_pid_readdir-simply-fix-first_tgid.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: simply fix first_tgid From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Like the bug Oleg spotted in first_tid there was also a small off by one error in first_tgid, when a seek was done on the /proc directory. This fixes that and changes the code structure to make it a little more obvious what is going on. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
