Just use "if (copy_from_user(ext, p, sizeof(*ext)))" (without underscores) and get rid of the access_ok(). > + if (ext->total_size != sizeof(*ext)) > + return -EINVAL; > + return 0; > +} > + > +static int copy_ext_to_user(void __user *fpu, struct sc_ext *ext) > +{ > + void __user *p; > + > + if (!fpu) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + if (ext->total_size != sizeof(*ext)) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + p = fpu + fpu_user_xstate_size + FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2_SIZE; > + p = (void __user *)ALIGN((unsigned long)p, 8); > + > + if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, p, sizeof(*ext))) > + return -EFAULT; > + > + if (__copy_to_user(p, ext, sizeof(*ext))) > + return -EFAULT; Same as above. > + return 0; > +}
