I read that linux kernel threads don't have their own address space, their mm field is set to NULL. I know that all kernel threads share address space, but still, they have their own stack right? They need to somehow describe that field, and without mm, how to they do that? and other lists like open files, where do they keep it? also, what's the point of setting active_mm field to previous user task's mm? thanks in advance.
