From: Jens Freimann <[email protected]> On some architectures address spaces are set up in a way that this is not necessary to work properly but on some others (like s390) it is. Make sure we operate on the user address space to allow copy_xxx_user() from the vhost_worker() thread by setting it explicitly before calling use_mm() and revert it after unuse_mm().
