Its filename was exit_state-kill-task_is_dead.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: exit_state: kill task_is_dead() task_is_dead() has no users since commit 43e13cc107cf "cred: remove task_is_dead() from __task_cred() validation", and nobody except exit.c should rely on ->exit_state (we still have the users which should be changed).
