[RFC v2 26/43] mm: shmem: specify the mm to use when inserting pages

From: Anthony Yznaga
Date: Tue Mar 30 2021 - 17:28:29 EST


Explicitly specify the mm to pass to shmem_insert_page() when
the pkram_stream is initialized rather than use the mm of the
current thread. This will allow for multiple kernel threads to
target the same mm when inserting pages in parallel.
