The patch titled Subject: fs/proc/task_mmu.c: simplify the vma_stop() logic has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-proc-task_mmuc-simplify-the-vma_stop-logic.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/proc/task_mmu.c: simplify the vma_stop() logic m_start() drops ->mmap_sem and does mmput() if it retuns vsyscall vma. This is because in this case m_stop()->vma_stop() obviously can't use gate_vma->vm_mm. Now that we have proc_maps_private->mm we can simplify this logic: - Change m_start() to return with ->mmap_sem held unless it returns IS_ERR_OR_NULL(). - Change vma_stop() to use priv->mm and avoid the ugly vma checks, this makes "vm_area_struct *vma" unnecessary. - This also allows m_start() to use vm_stop(). - Cleanup m_next() to follow the new locking rule. Note: m_stop() looks very ugly, and this temporary uglifies it even more. Fixed by the next change.
