The patch titled
Subject: proc: fix -ESRCH error when writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
proc-fix-esrch-error-when-writing-to-proc-pid-coredump_filter.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: proc: fix -ESRCH error when writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter
echo 0 > /proc/self/coredump_filter
bash: echo: write error: No such process
Writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter always returns -ESRCH because commit
774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()") removed
the setting of ret after the get_proc_task call and incorrectly left it as
-ESRCH. Instead, return 0 when successful.
Fixes: 774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()")
