The patch titled do_sys_poll: simplify playing with on-stack data has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was do_sys_poll-simplify-playing-with-on-stack-data.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: do_sys_poll: simplify playing with on-stack data From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cleanup. Lessens both the source and compiled code (100 bytes) and imho makes the code much more understandable. With this patch "struct poll_list *head" always points to on-stack stack_pps, so we can remove all "is it on-stack" and "was it initialized" checks. Also, move poll_initwait/poll_freewait and -EINTR detection closer to the do_poll()'s callsite.
