The patch titled de_thread: Use tsk not current has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is de_thread-use-tsk-not-current.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: de_thread: Use tsk not current From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ingo Oeser pointed out that because current expands to an inline function it is more space efficient and somewhat faster to simply keep a cached copy of current in another variable. This patch implements that for the de_thread function. (akpm: saves nearly 100 bytes of text on x86) Signed-off-by: Eric W.
