The patch titled
coredump: elf_core_dump: use core_state->dumper list
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
coredump-elf_core_dump-use-core_state-dumper-list.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: coredump: elf_core_dump: use core_state->dumper list
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Kill the nasty rcu_read_lock() + do_each_thread() loop, use the list
encoded in mm->core_state instead, s/GFP_ATOMIC/GFP_KERNEL/.
This patch allows futher cleanups in binfmt_elf.c, in particular we can
kill the parallel info->threads list.
