[PATCH -next] fork: silence a false postive warning in __mmdrop

From: Qian Cai
Date: Thu Jun 04 2020 - 11:04:15 EST


The linux-next commit bf2c59fce407 ("sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from
offline CPUs") delayed,

idle->active_mm = &init_mm;

into finish_cpu() instead of idle_task_exit() which results in a false
positive warning that was originally designed in the commit 3eda69c92d47
("kernel/fork.c: detect early free of a live mm").

WARNING: CPU: 127 PID: 72976 at kernel/fork.c:697
__mmdrop+0x230/0x2c0
do_exit+0x424/0xfa0
Call Trace:
