I think we should simply strive to remove all of them that aren't in core scheduler / arch code. Basically evetyytime we do the oldfs = get_fs(); set_fs(KERNEL_DS); .. set_fs(oldfs); trick we're doing something wrong, and there should always be better ways to archive it. E.g. using iov_iter with a ITER_KVEC type consistently would already remove most of them. -- 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
