The patch titled
coredump: zap_threads() must skip kernel threads
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
coredump-zap_threads-must-skip-kernel-threads.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: zap_threads() must skip kernel threads
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
The main loop in zap_threads() must skip kthreads which may use the same
mm. Otherwise we "kill" this thread erroneously (for example, it can not
fork or exec after that), and the coredumping task stucks in the
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state forever because of the wrong ->core_waiters
count.
