Subject: [PATCH] s390: TASK_SIZE for kernel threads
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 17:15:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170224161529.80054-2-schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170224161529.80054-1-schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Return a sensible value if TASK_SIZE if called from a kernel thread.

This gets us around an issue with copy_mount_options that does a magic
size calculation "TASK_SIZE - (unsigned long)data" while in a kernel
thread and data pointing to kernel space.
