The patch titled
     Subject: mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-correctly-synchronize-rss-counters-at-exit-exec.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: mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec

do_exit() and exec_mmap() call sync_mm_rss() before mm_release() does
put_user(clear_child_tid) which can update task->rss_stat and thus make
mm->rss_stat inconsistent.  This triggers the "BUG:" printk in check_mm().

Let's fix this bug in the safest way, and optimize/cleanup this later.
