I did actually almost send this out with the check in copy_struct_from_iter(), but decided not to for consistency with copy_struct_from_user(). openat2() seems to be the only user of copy_struct_from_user() that doesn't limit to PAGE_SIZE, which is odd given that Aleksa wrote both openat2() and copy_struct_from_user(). Aleksa, was this intentional? Thanks, Omar
