The patch titled futex: fix reference leak has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was futex-fix-reference-leak.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: futex: fix reference leak From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Catalin noticed that (38d47c1b7075: futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes) caused an mm_struct leak. Some tracing with the function graph tracer quickly pointed out that futex_wait() has exit paths with unbalanced reference counts. This regression was discovered by kmemleak.
