    powerpc/vas: Don't set uses_vas for kernel windows · b00b6289
    Nicholas Piggin authored
    cp_abort is only required for user windows, because kernel context
    must not be preempted between a copy/paste pair.
    
    Without this patch, the init task gets used_vas set when it runs the
    nx842_powernv_init initcall, which opens windows for kernel usage.
    
    used_vas is then never cleared anywhere, so it gets propagated into
    all other tasks. It's a property of the address space, so it should
    really be cleared when a new mm is created (or in dup_mmap if the
    mmaps are marked as VM_DONTCOPY). For now we seem to have no such
    driver, so leave that for another patch.
