Hi. I've found this:
Pointers are __u64, cast from/to a uintptr_t on the userspace side and from/to a void __user * in the kernel. Try really hard not to delay this conversion or worse, fiddle the raw __u64 through your code since that diminishes the checking tools like sparse can provide. The macro u64_to_user_ptr can be used in the kernel to avoid warnings about integers and pointers of different sizes.
