    vm86: get rid of get_user_ex() use · c63aad69
    Al Viro authored
    Just do a copyin of what we want into a local variable and
    be done with that.  We are guaranteed to be on shallow stack
    here...
    
    Note that conditional expression for range passed to access_ok()
    in mainline had been pointless all along - the only difference
    between vm86plus_struct and vm86_struct is that the former has
    one extra field in the end and when we get to copyin of that
    field (conditional upon 'plus' argument), we use copy_from_user().
    Moreover, all fields starting with ->int_revectored are copied
    that way, so we only need that check (be it done by access_ok()
    or by user_access_begin()) only on the beginning of the structure -
    the fields that used to be covered by that get_user_try() block.
