It's better to always use either rework the structure to avoid the pointer, or to use a __u64 member to store it, and then use u64_to_user_ptr() to convert it in the kernel. > + case JTAG_GIOCSTATUS: > + if (jtag->ops->status_get) > + err = jtag->ops->status_get(jtag, > + (enum jtag_endstate *)&value); This pointer cast is also not safe, as an enum might have a different size than the 'value' variable that is not an enum. I think you need to change the argument type for the callback, or maybe use another intermediate. > +static int jtag_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) > +{ > + struct jtag *jtag = container_of(inode->i_cdev, struct jtag, cdev); > + > + spin_lock(&jtag->lock); > + > + if (jtag->is_open) { > + dev_info(NULL, "jtag already opened\n"); > + spin_unlock(&jtag->lock); > + return -EBUSY; > + } > + > + jtag->is_open = true; > + file->private_data = jtag; > + spin_unlock(&jtag->lock); > + return 0; > +} Does the 'is_open' flag protect you from something that doesn't also happen after a 'dup()' call on the file descriptor? > + * @mode: access mode > + * @type: transfer type > + * @direction: xfer direction > + * @length: xfer bits len > + * @tdio : xfer data array > + * @endir: xfer end state > + * > + * Structure represents interface to Aspeed JTAG device for jtag sdr xfer > + * execution. > + */ > +struct jtag_xfer { > + __u8 mode; > + __u8 type; > + __u8 direction; > + __u32 length; > + __u8 *tdio; > + __u8 endstate; > +}; As mentioned above, the pointer in here makes it incompatible. Also, you should reorder the members to avoid the implied padding. Moving the 'endstate' before 'length' is sufficient.
