The patch titled
bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffers
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
bitmap-parse-input-from-kernel-and-user-buffers-2.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffers
From: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.
