Hi...
is there some reason that include/asm-i386/uaccess.h defines __get_user_x up to 4, but __put_user_x up to 8? why no __get_user_8? just curious.
Sure about that? Maybe the get_user 64 bit can do 8 byte transfer? I have no source in hand right now, so I just give ideas... Another possibilty is, there isn't one, since the kernel assume it can't do 8 bytes transfer atomically at once. But the kernel can assume it can safely do so since it *knows* the proper locking has been done. Somebody CMIIW regards, Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
