The patch titled Subject: kdb: kdb_current_task shouldn't be exported has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kdb-kdb_current_task-shouldnt-be-exported.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kdb: kdb_current_task shouldn't be exported The kdb_current_task variable has been declared in "kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_private.h" since 2010 when kdb was added to the mainline kernel. This is not a public header. There should be no reason that kdb_current_task should be exported and there are no in-kernel users that need it. Remove the export.
