mm: Make copy_from_user() in migrate.c statically predictable
x86-32 has had a static test for copy_on_user() overflow for a while. This test currently fails in mm/migrate.c resulting in an allyesconfig/allmodconfig build failure on x86-32: In function ‘copy_from_user’, inlined from ‘do_pages_stat’ at /home/hpa/kernel/git/mm/migrate.c:1012: /home/hpa/kernel/git/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:212: error: call to ‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared Make the logic more explicit and therefore easier for gcc to understand. v2: rewrite the loop entirely using a more normal structure for a chunked-data loop (Linus Torvalds) Reported-by: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H.
