[PATCH 6/7] x86/efi: Make efi_enter/leave_mm() use the use_/unuse_temporary_mm() machinery
From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Wed Apr 02 2025 - 05:47:08 EST
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
This should be considerably more robust. It's also necessary for optimized
for_each_possible_lazymm_cpu() on x86 -- without this patch, EFI calls in
lazy context would remove the lazy mm from mm_cpumask().
[ mingo: Merged it on top of x86/alternatives ]
