Subject: [PATCH] kernel/fork: Update obsolete use_mm references to kthread_use_mm
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 11:09:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <KUZPR04MB8965486F5D00D5B7BCC0B4738F3EA@KUZPR04MB8965.apcprd04.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

The comment for get_task_mm() in kernel/fork.c incorrectly references the deprecated function `use_mm()`, which has been renamed to `kthread_use_mm()` in kernel/kthread.c.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect the current function names, ensuring accuracy when developers refer to the kernel thread memory context API.
No functional changes were introduced.
