| |
Hi all-
Every time I look at is_compat_task, I cringe. That function determines whether we're in a compat syscall, not whether we're in a compat task. There are probably architectures (arm64?) under which these are the same conditions, but they are definitely *not* the same thing on x86.
Can we just fix it? I propose the following patch:
$ find -type f |xargs sed -i -e 's/is_compat_task/in_compat_syscall/g'
If there's general agreement, can we do that at the end of the next merge window?
I could also send a patch series to add in_compat_syscall, change all the users, then delete the old stuff, but that seems overcomplicated for something that's literally just renaming a token.
