What exactly is wrong with it?
Having now taken a much closer look, I now don't think Nate Case's
patch addresses this, since it only affects constant size arguments
<= 8 to copy_{to,from}_user_inatomic.
However, I don't see why your patch fixes anything. It means we do
two access_ok calls and two __copy_from_user_inatomic calls, for 8
bytes, at sp and at sp + 16, rather than doing one access_ok and
__copy_from_user_inatomic for 24 bytes at sp. Why does that make any
difference (apart from being slower)?
Paul.
