Re: [PATCH 0/3] s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/

I like all three of these changes. The 1/3 and 2/3 together constitute a
fix for the coredump vs aio race that is nice and clean. The 2/2 is all
cleanup or possibly fixes more arcane cases we haven't enumerated yet.
(I would have made that the last patch of the three.) It merits some
follow-up looking at all (!task->mm) sorts of tests and making them use
a helper for what they really mean to express (e.g. is_kernel_thread()
if that's what they intend).


Thanks,
Roland
