i'm curious about this snippet from the above source file:
...
/* This is needed, because copy_page and memcpy are not usable for copying
* task structs.
*/
static inline void do_copy_page(long *dst, long *src)
{
int n;
for (n = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(long); n; n--)
*dst++ = *src++;
}
...
and why not? what is it about copy_page or memcpy that makes it
unsuitable for copying task structs? thanks.
