The patch titled ____call_usermodehelper: don't flush_signals() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ____call_usermodehelper-dont-flush_signals.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ____call_usermodehelper: don't flush_signals() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> ____call_usermodehelper() has no reason for flush_signals(). It is a fresh forked process which is going to exec a user-space application or exit on failure.
