[PATCH 3/4] kernel/fork: switch vmapped stack callation to __vmalloc_area()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This gives as pointer vm_struct without calling find_vm_area().

And fix comment about that task holds cache of vm area: this cache used
for retrieving actual stack pages, freeing is done by vfree_deferred().
