It took me a while to realise that this is a follow-up I somehow assumed
that you added a few patches on top. Might have been the yesterday's
heat. b4 also refused to download this series because the v4 in this
thread looked newer… Anyway. Both series applied:

That is ptrace_parent() in unlock_parents_siglocks().
