------------------------------------------------------ From: Qian Cai cai@lca.pw Subject: fork: silence a false postive warning in __mmdrop
commit bf2c59fce407 ("sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs") delayed,
idle->active_mm = &init_mm;
into finish_cpu() instead of idle_task_exit() which results in a false positive warning that was originally designed in the commit 3eda69c92d47 ("kernel/fork.c: detect early free of a live mm").
WARNING: CPU: 127 PID: 72976 at kernel/fork.c:697 __mmdrop+0x230/0x2c0 do_exit+0x424/0xfa0 Call Trace: do_exit+0x424/0xfa0 do_group_exit+0x64/0xd0 sys_exit_group+0x24/0x30 system_call_exception+0x108/0x1d0 system_call_common+0xf0/0x278
