From 41f727fde1fe40efeb4fef6fdce74ff794be5aeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Davydov Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 14:21:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fork/exec: cleanup mm initialization mm initialization on fork/exec is spread all over the place, which makes the code look inconsistent. We have mm_init(), which is supposed to init/nullify mm's internals, but it doesn't init all the fields it should: - on fork ->mmap,mm_rb,vmacache_seqnum,map_count,mm_cpumask,locked_vm are zeroed in dup_mmap(); - on fork ->pmd_huge_pte is zeroed in dup_mm(), immediately before calling mm_init(); - ->cpu_vm_mask_var ptr is initialized by mm_init_cpumask(), which is called before mm_init() on both fork and exec; - ->context is initialized by init_new_context(), which is called after mm_init() on both fork and exec; Let's consolidate all the initializations in mm_init() to make the code look cleaner.
