What's the point of initializing bd_base here. I had to look twice to
figure out that it gets overwritten by task_get_bounds_dir()


I just want to put task_get_bounds_dir() outside mm->mmap_sem holding.

What you want is not interesting at all. What's interesting is what
you do and what you send for review.


I see. Thanks.
