The patch titled worker_thread: don't play with SIGCHLD and numa policy has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was worker_thread-dont-play-with-sigchld-and-numa-policy.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: worker_thread: don't play with SIGCHLD and numa policy From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> worker_thread() inherits ignored SIGCHLD and numa_default_policy() from its parent, kthreadd. No need to setup this again. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: "Eric W.
