The quilt patch titled Subject: get_signal: don't initialize ksig->info if SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/group_exec_task has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was get_signal-dont-initialize-ksig-info-if-signal_group_exit-group_exec_task.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: get_signal: don't initialize ksig->info if SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/group_exec_task Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2024 17:56:53 +0100 This initialization is incomplete and unnecessary, neither do_group_exit() nor PF_USER_WORKER need ksig->info.
