Most callers of use_mm() tend to invoke mmget_not_zero() or get_task_mm() before use_mm() to ensure the mm will remain alive in between use_mm() and unuse_mm(). Some callers however don't increase mm_users and they instead rely on serialization in __mmput() to ensure the mm will remain alive in between use_mm() and unuse_mm(). Not increasing mm_users during use_mm() is however unsafe for aforementioned arch TLB flushes optimizations. So either mmget()/mmput() should be added to the problematic callers of use_mm()/unuse_mm() or we can embed them in use_mm()/unuse_mm() which is more robust.
