Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/vas: do not set uses_vas for kernel windows
Date: Thu,  8 Feb 2018 19:18:38 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180208091838.27992-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)

cp_abort is only required or user windows, because kernel context
must not be preempted between a copy/paste pair.

Without this patch, the init task gets used_vas set when it runs
the nx842_powernv_init initcall, which opens windows for kernel
usage.

used_vas is then never cleared anywhere, so it gets propagated
into all other tasks. It's a property of the address space, so it
should really be cleared when a new mm is created (or in dup_mmap
if the mmaps are marked as VM_DONTCOPY). For now we seem to have
no such driver, so leave that for another patch.
