The patch titled coredump: simplify core_state->nr_threads calculation has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is coredump-simplify-core_state-nr_threads-calculation.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: coredump: simplify core_state->nr_threads calculation From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Change zap_process() to return int instead of incrementing mm->core_state->nr_threads directly. Change zap_threads() to set mm->core_state only on success. This patch restores the original size of .text, and more importantly now ->nr_threads is used in two places only.
