This looks quite ugly to me.

Wouldn't it be possible to do something like this:


ipv6_renew_option_kern(...)
{
	int ret;
	const mm_segment_t old_fs = get_fs();
	set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
	ret = ipv6_renew_option(...); // maybe you need to forcefully cast the
user away here
	set_fs(old_fs);
	return ret;
}

Bye,
Hannes
