The patch titled
signals: de_thread: simplify the ->child_reaper switching
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
signals-de_thread-simplify-the-child_reaper-switching.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: de_thread: simplify the ->child_reaper switching
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Now that we rely on SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag, de_thread() doesn't need the nasty
hack to kill the old ->child_reaper during the mt-exec.
This also means we can avoid taking tasklist_lock around zap_other_threads().
