The patch titled
wait_task_continued/zombie: don't use task_pid_nr_ns() lockless
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
wait_task_continued-zombie-dont-use-task_pid_nr_ns-lockless.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/

Subject: wait_task_continued/zombie: don't use task_pid_nr_ns() lockless
From: Oleg Nesterov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Surprise, other 2 wait_task_() functions also abuse task_pid_nr_ns(). May
cause read-after-free or report nr == 0 in wait_task_continued().
wait_task_zombie() doesn't have this problem, but still it is better to cache
pid_t rather than call task_pid_nr_ns() 3 times on the saved pid_namespace.
