From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> The way that access_ok() is defined on x86 is slightly different from most other architectures, and a bit more complex. The generic version tends to result in the best output on all architectures, as it results in single comparison against a constant limit for calls with a known size. There are a few callers of __range_not_ok(), all of which use TASK_SIZE as the limit rather than TASK_SIZE_MAX, but I could not see any reason for picking this. Changing these to call __access_ok() instead uses the default limit, but keeps the behavior otherwise. x86 is the only architecture with a WARN_ON_IN_IRQ() checking access_ok(), but it's probably best to leave that in place.
