The quilt patch titled Subject: fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_lock to gather the threads/children stats has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-proc-do_task_stat-use-sig-stats_lock-to-gather-the-threads-children-stats.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: fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_lock to gather the threads/children stats Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:33:57 +0100

lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call do_task_stat() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, it will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.

Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock to gather the statistics outside of ->siglock protected section, in the likely case this code will run lockless.
