Cover letter [PATCH v3 0/2] Replace current->mm by kvm->mm on powerpc/kvm
Replace current->mm by kvm->mm on powerpc/kvm
By replacing, we would reduce the use of 'global' current on code, relying more in the contents of kvm struct.
On code, I found that in kvm_create_vm() there is:kvm->mm = current->mm;
And that on every kvm_*_ioctl we have tests like that:
if (kvm->mm != current->mm)
return -EIO;
So this change would be safe.
