The patch titled
smackfs: remove redundant lock, fix open(,O_RDWR)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
smackfs-remove-redundant-lock-fix-openo_rdwr.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: smackfs: remove redundant lock, fix open(,O_RDWR)
From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" <darwish.07@xxxxxxxxx>
Older smackfs was parsing MAC rules by characters, thus a need of locking
write sessions on open() was needed. This lock is no longer useful now since
each rule is handled by a single write() call.
This is also a bugfix since seq_open() was not called if an open() O_RDWR flag
was given, leading to a seq_read() without an initialized seq_file, thus an
Oops.
