From 1ae1b5f053cf36bd0f913e83f3b136fec8152d4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2010 13:57:00 +0000 Subject: ARM: smp: avoid incrementing mm_users on CPU startup We should not be incrementing mm_users when we startup a secondary CPU - doing so results in mm_users incrementing by one each time we hotplug a CPU, which will eventually wrap, and will cause problems. Other architectures such as x86 do not increment mm_users, but only mm_count, so we follow that pattern.
