From 3f4c8211d982099be693be9aa7d6fc4607dff290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2022 21:38:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Use mm_alloc() in poking_init() Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes more conceptual sense, init_mm has no (and must not have) user state to duplicate.
