The patch titled zap_other_threads: remove unneeded ->exit_signal change has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was zap_other_threads-remove-unneeded-exit_signal-change.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: zap_other_threads: remove unneeded ->exit_signal change From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> We already depend on fact that all sub-threads have ->exit_signal == -1, no need to set it in zap_other_threads().
