[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

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

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.
