[PATCH v3 1/2] vt: selection: allow functions to be called from inside kernel

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

 



This patch breaks set_selection() into two functions so that when
called from kernel, copy_from_user() can be avoided. It also exports
set_selection() and paste_selection().

These changes are used the following patch where speakup's selection
functionality calls into the above functions, thereby doing away with
parallel implementation.
