Subject: [PATCH] arm64: treat PF_IO_WORKER like PF_KTHREAD for mitigations
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 09:43:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dfc03be2-e246-ed23-6efb-fbd54a8e7781@kernel.dk> (raw)
Like PF_KTHREAD, PF_IO_WORKER never exit to userspace. They exist
entirely within the kernel, and hence don't need any task mitigations
applied.
