The patch titled
ITIMER_REAL: convert to use struct pid
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
itimer_real-convert-to-use-struct-pid.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: ITIMER_REAL: convert to use struct pid
From: Oleg Nesterov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
signal_struct->tsk points to the ->group_leader and thus we have the nasty
code in de_thread() which has to change it and restart ->real_timer if the
leader is changed.
Use "struct pid *leader_pid" instead. This also allows us to kill now
unneeded send_group_sig_info().
