Hi. I'm trying to clarify my understanding of the role of the active_mm field in the task_struct. Is it true that kernel threads and interrupt handlers use the active_mm field to borrow the mm of a process? Is it true that in a process, which always has a non-null mm, always has current->mm == current->active_mm? -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
