[PATCH V8 2/8] fork/vm: Move common PF_IO_WORKER behavior to new flag
From: Mike Christie
Date: Wed Feb 09 2022 - 18:32:29 EST
This adds a new flag, PF_USER_WORKER, that's used for behavior common to
to both PF_IO_WORKER and users like vhost which will use a new helper
instead of create_io_thread because they require different behavior.
The common behavior PF_USER_WORKER covers is the initial frame and fpu
setup and the vm reclaim handling.
