[PATCH v2 3/4] powerpc/kvm/book3e: Replace current->mm by kvm->mm

From: Leonardo Bras <hidden>
Date: 2019-11-07 17:03:37
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for powerpc (kvm/powerpc), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

Given that in kvm_create_vm() there is:
kvm->mm = current->mm;

And that on every kvm_*_ioctl we have:
if (kvm->mm != current->mm)
	return -EIO;

I see no reason to keep using current->mm instead of kvm->mm.

By doing so, we would reduce the use of 'global' variables on code, relying
more in the contents of kvm struct.
