The patch titled
do_wait() wakeup optimization: child_wait_callback: check __WNOTHREAD case
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
do_wait-wakeup-optimization-child_wait_callback-check-__wnothread-case.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: do_wait() wakeup optimization: child_wait_callback: check __WNOTHREAD case
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Suggested by Roland.
do_wait(__WNOTHREAD) can only succeed if the caller is either ptracer, or
it is ->real_parent and the child is not traced. IOW, caller == p->parent
otherwise we should not wake up.
Change child_wait_callback() to check this. Ratan reports the workload with
CPU load >99% caused by unnecessary wakeups, should be fixed by this patch.
