The patch titled eventfd: use waitqueue lock has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was eventfd-use-waitqueue-lock.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: eventfd: use waitqueue lock From: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The eventfd was using the unlocked waitqueue operations, but it was using a different lock, so poll_wait() would race with it. This patch makes eventfd directly use the waitqueue lock.
