From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 07d432bb97f19dd5e784175152f9fce3b2646133 ] The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is: post_one_send (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave) init_send_wqe copy_from_user --> may sleep There is no flow that makes "qp->is_user" true, and copy_from_user may cause bug when a non-user pointer is used. So the lines of copy_from_user and check of "qp->is_user" are removed.
