[RFC PATCH 06/14] arm64/crash_dump: Use the new interface copy_oldmem_page_buf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current interface copy_oldmem_page() passes user pointer without
__user annotation and hence does unnecessary user/kernel pointer
conversions during its implementation.

Implement the interface copy_oldmem_page_buf() to avoid this issue.
