The patch titled Subject: proc_oom_score: remove tasklist_lock and pid_alive() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was proc_oom_score-remove-tasklist_lock-and-pid_alive.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc_oom_score: remove tasklist_lock and pid_alive() This was needed before to ensure that ->signal != 0 and do_each_thread() is safe, see b95c35e76b29b ("oom: fix the unsafe usage of badness() in proc_oom_score()") for details. Today tsk->signal can't go away and for_each_thread(tsk) is always safe.
