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

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}.
