Subject: [merged] ptrace-arm-revert-hw_breakpoints-fix-racy-access-to-ptrace-breakpoints.patch removed from -mm tree To: oleg@xxxxxxxxxx,benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx,jan.kratochvil@xxxxxxxxxx,lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx,linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,mikey@xxxxxxxxxxx,mingo@xxxxxxxxxx,paulus@xxxxxxxxx,prasad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,will.deacon@xxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:21:07 -0700 The patch titled Subject: ptrace/arm: revert "hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints" has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ptrace-arm-revert-hw_breakpoints-fix-racy-access-to-ptrace-breakpoints.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ptrace/arm: revert "hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints" This reverts commit bf0b8f4b55e ("hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints"). The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after 9899d11f ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL"), the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and ->ptrace_bps[] can't go away.
