The patch titled
do_task_stat: don't take rcu_read_lock()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
do_task_stat-dont-take-rcu_read_lock.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: do_task_stat: don't take rcu_read_lock()
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
lock_task_sighand() was changed, and do_task_stat() doesn't need
rcu_read_lock any longer. sighand->siglock protects all "interesting"
fields.
Except: it doesn't protect ->tty->pgrp, but neither does rcu_read_lock(), this
should be fixed.
