The patch titled pi-futex: missing pi_waiters plist initialization has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is pi-futex-missing-pi_waiters-plist-initialization.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: pi-futex: missing pi_waiters plist initialization From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> Initialize init task's pi_waiters plist. Otherwise cpu hotplug of cpu 0 might crash, since rt_mutex_getprio() accesses an uninitialized list head. call chain which led to crash: take_cpu_down sched_idle_next __setscheduler rt_mutex_getprio Using PLIST_HEAD_INIT in the INIT_TASK macro doesn't work unfortunately, since the pi_waiters member is only conditionally present.
