The patch titled use __set_task_state() for TRACED/STOPPED tasks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was use-__set_task_state-for-traced-stopped-tasks.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: use __set_task_state() for TRACED/STOPPED tasks From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> 1. It is much easier to grep for ->state change if __set_task_state() is used instead of the direct assignment. 2. ptrace_stop() and handle_group_stop() use set_task_state() which adds the unneeded mb() (btw even if we use mb() it is still possible that do_wait() sees the new ->state but not ->exit_code, but this is ok).
