Morally, the question of whether an address lies in a gate vma should be asked with respect to an mm, not a particular task. Practically, dropping the dependency on task_struct will help make current and future operations on mm's more flexible and convenient. In particular, it allows some code paths to avoid the need to hold task_lock.Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <redacted> May I suggest ia32_compat instead of just compat for the flag name ?
Yes, sounds good to me. Will change in the next iteration. Thanks for the review!
