The patch titled
wait_task_inactive: "improve" the returned value for ->nvcsw == 0
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
wait_task_inactive-improve-the-returned-value-for-nvcsw-==-0.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: wait_task_inactive: "improve" the returned value for ->nvcsw == 0
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
wait_task_inactive() returns 1 when p->nvcsw == 0 || p->nvcsw == 1. This
means that two subsequent calls can return the same number while the task
was scheduled in between.
Change the code to return "nvcsw | LONG_MIN" instead of "nvcsw ?: 1", now
the overlap always needs LONG_MAX schedules.
