The patch titled
Subject: fork: call complete_vfork_done() after clearing child_tid and flushing rss-counters
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fork-call-complete_vfork_done-after-clearing-child_tid-and-flushing-rss-counters.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: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fork: call complete_vfork_done() after clearing child_tid and flushing rss-counters
Child should wake up the parent from vfork() only after finishing all
operations with shared mm. There is no sense in using
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID together with CLONE_VFORK, but it looks more accurate
now.
