Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: shiftfs is currently passing down an unsigned long to copy_from_user() which expects a void __user * pointer. This will cause the compiler to complain because of mismatching types and in general is rather ugly. Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs. Test Case: Compile kernel with patch and see that compiler does not complain anymore. Target Kernels: All LTS kernels with shiftfs support. Patches: https://github.com/brauner/ubuntu-disco/tree/shiftfs_direct_io ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Christian Brauner (cbrauner) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Christian Brauner (cbrauner) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837231 Title: UBUNTU: SAUCE: shiftfs: pass correct point down Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: SRU Justification Impact: shiftfs is currently passing down an unsigned long to copy_from_user() which expects a void __user * pointer.
