That is not a typo. "Copyin" is correct as it refers to copying data in 
from user space.

If it's "copying in" data from user space, it should be spelled "copy in"
and not "copyin" unless my English grammar skills are failing me.

The resulting phrase "copy in of user CCB buffer" would contain two 
consecutive prepositions, which is poor English grammar. ;)

There used to be a kernel function called copyin() that was changed to 
copy_from_user() in the dim past. But I think "copyin" is still widely 
understood as an /operation/, not an English word, kind of like "ccb".

Apologies to all for cluttering up multiple lists with this trivia.

Rob
