So, verify_area and copy_from_user in some cases will both end up using access_ok, why does one work better than the other? Also, a similar situation occurs with the sigaction call. I've noticed signal.c is using verify_area, should that be changed to use copy_from_user / copy_to_user? Thanks, - Robbie Robert V.
