With the loop like above serving as a dumb default. And on badly alighed address it _will_ be dumb. Probably too much so - something like if ((unsigned long)addr & 1) { u8 v; if (get_user(v, (__u8 __user *)addr)) return -EFAULT; if (v) return -E2BIG; addr++; } if ((unsigned long)addr & 2) { u16 v; if (get_user(v, (__u16 __user *)addr)) return -EFAULT; if (v) return -E2BIG; addr +=2; } if ((unsigned long)addr & 4) { u32 v; if (get_user(v, (__u32 __user *)addr)) return -EFAULT; if (v) return -E2BIG; } <read the rest like you currently do> would be saner, and things like x86 could trivially add an asm variant - it's not hard. Incidentally, memchr_inv() is an overkill in this case...
