Can you not just make addr_limit_fail a C function which never returns (similar to what we to with bad_mode() on arm64)? Since addr_limit_fail is only called when the segment is not the right one, I don't really see why you need another call to asm_verify_pre_usermode_state() to do a similar check again. Just panic in addr_limit_fail (unless I misunderstood what you are trying to achieve). -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
