The patch titled de_thread: Use tsk not current has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is de_thread-use-tsk-not-current.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: de_thread: Use tsk not current From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ingo Oeser pointed out that because current expands to an inline function it is more space efficient and somewhat faster to simply keep a cached copy of current in another variable. This patch implements that for the de_thread function. (akpm: saves nearly 100 bytes of text on x86) Signed-off-by: Eric W.
