The patch titled coredump: kill mm->core_done has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was coredump-kill-mm-core_done.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: kill mm->core_done From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Now that we have core_state->dumper list we can use it to wake up the sub-threads waiting for the coredump completion. This uglifies the code and .text grows by 47 bytes, but otoh mm_struct lessens by sizeof(struct completion). Also, with this change we can decouple exit_mm() from the coredumping code.
