If you want to add a comment, I think it should describe why we require it as that's not obvious from just looking at the check. So maybe a more useful comment would be: /* * vhost_tasks will account for worker threads under the parent's * NPROC value but kthreads do not. To avoid userspace overflowing * the system with worker threads inherit_owner must be true. */ > + if (vs->dev.inherit_owner != true) This check and the comment would apply to all vhost drivers so it should go in vhost_worker_ioctl's VHOST_NEW_WORKER handling. > + return -EFAULT; > + > + fallthrough; > case VHOST_FREE_WORKER: > case VHOST_ATTACH_VRING_WORKER: > case VHOST_GET_VRING_WORKER:
