Subject: [PATCH 1/2] arm64: introduce separated bits for mm_context_t flags
Date: Sat,  5 Aug 2017 17:40:21 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170805144022.17260-2-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170805144022.17260-1-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com>

Currently mm->context.flags field uses thread_info flags which is not the best
idea for many reasons. For example, mm_context_t doesn't need most of thread_info
flags. And it would be difficult to add new mm-related flag if needed because it
may easily interfere with TIF ones.

To deal with it, the new MMCF_AARCH32 flag is introduced for mm_context_t flags,
where MMCF prefix stands for mm_context_t flags.

RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/31/454
v1:
 - changed the MMCF_AARCH32 bit number from 0x1 to 0x0 and added comment.
