The patch titled
     namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exit
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     namespaces-fix-exit-race-by-splitting-exit.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exit
From: Serge E. Hallyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces.  First
piece reduces the nsproxy refcount.  If we dropped the last reference, then
it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller.  Else
it returns NULL.  The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets
tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and
frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in.

A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes
the NFS oops.
