The quilt patch titled Subject: introduce for_other_threads(p, t) has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was introduce-for_other_threadsp-t.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: introduce for_other_threads(p, t) Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2023 16:57:10 +0100 Cosmetic, but imho it makes the usage look more clear and simple, the new helper doesn't require to initialize "t". After this change while_each_thread() has only 3 users, and it is only used in the do/while loops.
