4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> commit fb94a687d96c570d46332a4a890f1dcb7310e643 upstream. Return a sensible value if TASK_SIZE if called from a kernel thread. This gets us around an issue with copy_mount_options that does a magic size calculation "TASK_SIZE - (unsigned long)data" while in a kernel thread and data pointing to kernel space.
