Ideally it should have also called access_ok() on the user address range first. The point is that the caller of __copy_from_user_inatomic() must make sure that there cannot be any page fault while doing the actual copy. But also it should be done in generic way, something like in access_ok(). The current proposal here seems very specific to arm64 case.
