Subject: kernel/fork: update obsolete use_mm references to kthread_use_mm
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2bbd9e1d14d6156180d21cc871a51a3bd1839c81;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

kernel/fork: update obsolete use_mm references to kthread_use_mm

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.
