4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 490fc053865c9cc40f1085ef8a5504f5341f79d2 ] Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the basic mm pointer. The rest of the fields end up being different for different users, although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy entry.
