[PATCH] riscv: mm: Remove the copy operation of pmd
From: Chuanhua Han
Date: Mon Mar 30 2020 - 07:53:58 EST
Since all processes share the kernel address space,
we only need to copy pgd in case of a vmalloc page
fault exception, the other levels of page tables are
shared, so the operation of copying pmd is unnecessary.
