Subject: [PATCHv3 1/2] mm: move use_mm/unuse_mm from aio.c to mm/
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:21:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090917072129.GB18115@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1253171695.git.mst@redhat.com>

Anyone who wants to do copy to/from user from a kernel thread, needs
use_mm (like what fs/aio has).  Move that into mm/, to make reusing and
exporting easier down the line, and make aio use it.  Next intended
user, besides aio, will be vhost-net.

Acked-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>
