The changes betwen rev 1.23 and 1.24 in unaligned.c, to replace check_axs() with verify_area(), causes any unaligned access from within a kernel module to crash. access_ok() returns -EFAULT as the __access_mask is 0xffffffff so __access_ok evaluates to > 0. It's too late for me to look into it any further but perhaps the problem will be obvious to someone else. I'm not sure what get_fs() should return in this case (again, the access is from within a kernel module) but it returns 0xffffffff. Pete
