The patch titled
Subject: exit: reparent: document the ->has_child_subreaper checks
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
exit-reparent-document-the-has_child_subreaper-checks.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: exit: reparent: document the ->has_child_subreaper checks
Swap the "init_task" and same_thread_group() checks. This way it is more
simple to document these checks and we can remove the link to the previous
discussion on lkml.
