Re: [PATCH 0/9] avoid mixing __user and kernel pointers

Gar.  Moving the pointer around sucks.  It's just not worth it.  It
makes the code more complicated.  In the end, we're going to audit
the ioctls first when we look for security bugs in this code.  The
chance that a bug is going to be introduced because of a missing
__user tag is not very high.

Of course, the memory leak fixes are good and the pass by reference
changes are good.

It's not my code and all, but the way it's done now is the simplest.
