The patch titled Task watchers: register semundo task watcher has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is task-watchers-register-semundo-task-watcher.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked by the maintainer ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Task watchers: register semundo task watcher From: Matt Helsley <matthltc@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch uses the task_watcher notifier chain to invoke exit_sem() at appropriate times. Signed-off-by: Matt Helsley <matthltc@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jes Sorensen <jes@xxxxxxx> DESC make ipc/sem.c:exit_sem() static EDESC exit_sem() can now become static.
