The patch titled Subject: pidns: simpler allocation of pid_* caches has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was pidns-simpler-allocation-of-pid_-caches.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: pidns: simpler allocation of pid_* caches Those pid_* caches are created on demand when a process advances to the new level of pid namespace. Which means pointers are stable, write only and thus can be packed into an array instead of spreading them over and using lists(!) to find them. Both first and subsequent clone/unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) become faster. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180320185106.GA325@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Eric W.
