The patch titled
'kill sig -1' must only apply to caller's namespace
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kill-sig-1-must-only-apply-to-callers-namespace.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: 'kill sig -1' must only apply to caller's namespace
From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently "kill <sig> -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the
isolation of namespaces. Earlier attempt to fix this was discussed at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148
As suggested by Oleg Nesterov in that thread, use "task_pid_vnr() > 1"
check since task_pid_vnr() returns 0 if process is outside the caller's
namespace.
