fork: allow kernel code to call copy_process
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. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com> Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner (Microsoft) <brauner@kernel.org>
