Subject[PATCH v11 5/8] fork: allow kernel code to call copy_process
Date
The next patch adds helpers like create_io_thread, but for use by the
vhost layer. There are several functions, so they are in their own file
instead of cluttering up fork.c. This patch allows that new file to
call copy_process.
