The quilt patch titled Subject: kernel/fork.c: put set_max_threads()/task_struct_whitelist() in __init section has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-forkc-put-set_max_threads-task_struct_whitelist-in-__init-section.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/fork.c: put set_max_threads()/task_struct_whitelist() in __init section Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2024 01:34:10 +0000 The functions set_max_threads() and task_struct_whitelist() are only used by fork_init() during bootup. Let's add __init tag to them.
