[RFC,25/43] mm: shmem: specify the mm to use when inserting pages

Commit Message

Anthony Yznaga May 7, 2020, 12:41 a.m. UTC

Explicitly specify the mm to pass to shmem_insert_page() when
the pkram_stream is initialized rather than use the mm of the
current thread.  This will allow for multiple kernel threads to
target the same mm when inserting pages in parallel.
