The patch titled Subject: exit: wait: cleanup the ptrace_reparented() checks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was exit-wait-cleanup-the-ptrace_reparented-checks.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: exit: wait: cleanup the ptrace_reparented() checks Now that EXIT_DEAD is the terminal state we can kill "int traced" variable and check "state == EXIT_DEAD" instead to cleanup the code. In particular, this way it is clear that the check obviously doesn't need tasklist_lock. Also fix the type of "unsigned long state", "long" was always wrong although this doesn't matter because cmpxchg/xchg uses typeof(*ptr).
