The quilt patch titled Subject: exit: wait_task_zombie: kill the no longer necessary spin_lock_irq(siglock) has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was exit-wait_task_zombie-kill-the-no-longer-necessary-spin_lock_irqsiglock.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov oleg@redhat.com Subject: exit: wait_task_zombie: kill the no longer necessary spin_lock_irq(siglock) Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:34:00 +0100
After the recent changes nobody use siglock to read the values protected by stats_lock, we can kill spin_lock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock) and update the comment.
With this patch only __exit_signal() and thread_group_start_cputime() take stats_lock under siglock.
