The patch titled fix setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) thread iterator breakage has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fix-setpriorityprio_pgrp-thread-iterator-breakage.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: fix setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) thread iterator breakage From: "Ken Chen" <kenchen@xxxxxxxxxx> When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each process, ignoring all other sibling thread. Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk each thread of a process. Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and ioprio_{set/get}.
