The patch titled Subject: userfaultfd: cleanup superfluous _irq locking has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was userfaultfd-add-new-syscall-to-provide-memory-externalization-fix-fix-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into userfaultfd-add-new-syscall-to-provide-memory-externalization.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: userfaultfd: cleanup superfluous _irq locking This leftover shouldn't have caused any malfunction because the loop either schedules or it re-enables irqs immediately and schedule() doesn't seem to BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()). However lately we've been using the non blocking model so the schedule isn't really exercised here. Regardless of the side effects this must be fixed as it's not ok to enter schedule with irq disabled and it's not beneficial to toggle irqs in the first place.
