From: Amit Daniel Kachhap <amit.kachhap@xxxxxxx> Subject: fs/ioctl: remove unnecessary __user annotation __user annotations are used by the checker (e.g sparse) to mark user pointers. However here __user is applied to a struct directly, without a pointer being directly involved. Although the presence of __user does not cause sparse to emit a warning, __user should be removed for consistency with other uses of offsetof(). Note: No functional changes intended.
