SubjectQ: x86: add context tag to mark mm when running a task in 32-bit compatibility mode
commit c2ef45df3b98a027ec8f9081bd2a19dff520ef9d

This tag is intended to mirror the thread info TIF_IA32 flag.

OK, but

+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
+ /* True if mm supports a task running in 32 bit compatibility mode. */
+ unsigned short ia32_compat;
+#endif

Stupid question, why we can't add a simple arch-independent MMF_COMPAT
flag instead?

I am asking because we probably want to backport this change and this
ia32_compat looks a bit annoying, why should we waste a word?

Sure, this is very minor, but perhaps the trivial patch below makes
sense?

Oleg.
