The patch titled Subject: kernel: cgroup: push rcu read locking from css_is_ancestor() to callsite has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-cgroup-push-rcu-read-locking-from-css_is_ancestor-to-callsite.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: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel: cgroup: push rcu read locking from css_is_ancestor() to callsite Library functions should not grab locks when the callsites can do it, even if the lock nests like the rcu read-side lock does. Push the rcu_read_lock() from css_is_ancestor() to its single user, mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree() in preparation for another user that may already hold the rcu read-side lock.
