sched/x86: Add a comment clarifying LDT context switching The code is correct, but only for a rather subtle reason. This confused me for quite a while when I read switch_mm, so clarify the code to avoid confusing other people, too. TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if this code was only correct by accident. [ I wouldn't normally send a comment-only patch, but it took me a long time to first figure out wtf was going on here, and then to figure out why this wasn't exploitable by malicious code, and then to figure out why this oddity had no user-visible effect at all. Let's spare future readers the same confusion. ] Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/36275c99801a87d8dcf0502a41cf4e2ad81aae46.1412623954.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
