The patch titled ncpfs: Use struct pid to track the userspace watchdog process has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ncpfs-use-struct-pid-to-track-the-userspace-watchdog-process.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ncpfs: Use struct pid to track the userspace watchdog process From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch converts the tracking of the user space watchdog process from using a pid_t to use struct pid. This makes us safe from pid wrap around issues and prepares the way for the pid namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
