The patch titled Subject: devtmpfsd: fix task state handling has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was devtmpfsd-fix-task-state-handling.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/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kautuk Consul <consul.kautuk@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: devtmpfsd: fix task state handling - Set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE using __set_current_state() instead of set_current_state() as the spin_unlock is an implicit memory barrier. - After return from schedule(), there is no need to set the current state to TASK_RUNNING - a call to schedule() always returns in TASK_RUNNING state.
