From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 01:16:39 +0100 The socket address copy is handled by move_addr_to_usre() (which does a EFAULT error return as needed) The data copy depends on the underlying protocol. UDP/TCP should check correctly for faults at least. I'm beginning to suspect this person is on a non-x86 platform with dodgy exception handling :-) - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
