The patch titled signals: do_group_exit(): use signal_group_exit() more consistently has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was signals-do_group_exit-use-signal_group_exit-more-consistently.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: signals: do_group_exit(): use signal_group_exit() more consistently From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> do_group_exit() checks SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT to avoid taking sighand->siglock. Since ed5d2cac114202fe2978a9cbcab8f5032796d538 exec() doesn't set this flag, we should use signal_group_exit(). This is not needed for correctness, but can speedup the multithreaded exec and makes the code more consistent.
