Sparse is complaining about ngene's bad usage of a __user ptr: >> drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: sparse: incorrect type in >> argument 2 (different address spaces) drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: expected unsigned char const [usertype] *buf drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: got char const [noderef] <asn:1>*buf
As this is intercepting a .write() file ops, we can't just memcpy. We need to use copy_from_user.
