- proc-implement-proc_single_file_operations.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     proc: implement proc_single_file_operations
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     proc-implement-proc_single_file_operations.patch

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

Subject: proc: implement proc_single_file_operations
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Currently many /proc/pid files use a crufty precursor to the current seq_file
api, and they don't have direct access to the pid_namespace or the pid of for
which they are displaying data.

So implement proc_single_file_operations to make the seq_file routines easy to
use, and to give access to the full state of the pid of we are displaying data
for.
