The patch titled Add lock_page_killable() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is add-lock_page_killable.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Add lock_page_killable() From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> Add associated infrastructure such as sync_page_killable and fatal_signal_pending. Use lock_page_killable in do_generic_mapping_read() to allow us to kill `cat' of a file on an NFS-mounted filesystem.
