I really want to kill compat_alloc_user_space() off - it's always trouble and for a driver-private ioctls it's absolutely pointless. The series is in vfs.git #uaccess.hpsa, based at v5.7-rc1 Al Viro (4): hpsa passthrough: lift {BIG_,}IOCTL_Command_struct copy{in,out} into hpsa_ioctl() hpsa: don't bother with vmalloc for BIG_IOCTL_Command_struct hpsa: get rid of compat_alloc_user_space() hpsa_ioctl(): tidy up a bit Acked-by: Don Brace <don.brace@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Don Brace <don.brace@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> drivers/scsi/hpsa.c | 199 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 1 file changed, 90 insertions(+), 109 deletions(-)
