The patch titled coredump: optimize ->mm users traversal has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is coredump-optimize-mm-users-traversal.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: coredump: optimize ->mm users traversal From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> zap_threads() iterates over all threads to find those ones which share current->mm. All threads in the thread group share the same ->mm, so we can skip entire thread group if it has another ->mm. This patch shifts the killing of thread group into the newly added zap_process() function. This looks as unnecessary complication, but it is used in further patches.
