  In a two-dimensional ferromagnetic metal layer lacking inversion symmetry,
the itinerant electrons mediate the interaction between the Rashba spin-orbit
interaction and the ferromagnetic order parameter, leading to a Rashba spin
torque exerted on the magnetization. Using Keldysh technique, in the presence
of both magnetism and a spin-orbit coupling, we derive a spin diffusion
equation that provides a coherent description to the diffusive spin dynamics.
The characteristics of the spin torque and its implication on magnetization
dynamics are discussed in the limits of large and weak spin-orbit coupling.
