The patch titled coredump: copy_process: don't check SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is coredump-copy_process-dont-check-signal_group_exit.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: coredump: copy_process: don't check SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> After the previous patch SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT implies a pending SIGKILL, we can remove this check from copy_process() because we already checked !signal_pending().
