The patch titled futex: PI state locking fix has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was futex-pi-state-locking-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: futex: PI state locking fix From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Testing of -rt by IBM uncovered a locking bug in wake_futex_pi(): the PI state needs to be locked before we access it.
