That description doesn't seem quite right to me.
I presume the check is:
Within the current process's stack and not crossing the ends of the
current stack frame.
The 'current' stack frame is likely to be that of copy_to/from_user().
Even if you use the stack of the caller, any problematic buffers
are likely to have been passed in from a calling function.
So unless you are going to walk the stack (good luck on that)
I'm not sure checking the stack frames is worth it.
I'd also guess that a lot of copies are from the middle of structures
so cannot fail the tests you are adding.
