The patch titled signals: do_signal_stop(): use signal_group_exit() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was signals-do_signal_stop-use-signal_group_exit.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_signal_stop(): use signal_group_exit() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> do_signal_stop() needs signal_group_exit() but checks sig->group_exit_task. This (optimization) is correct, SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED and SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT are mutually exclusive, but looks confusing. Use signal_group_exit(), this is not fastpath, the code clarity is more important.
