Subject: [git pull] vfs.git pile 13 - killing __copy_in_user()
Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2017 01:29:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170708002954.GL10672@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)

all of them bogus. Four got killed off in work.drm branch, this takes care of
the remaining ones and kills the definition of that sucker.
The following changes since commit aeba03903063e9fea885d32318e1546d9b7e83a8:
mga: switch compat ioctls to drm_ioctl_kernel() (2017-07-04 13:16:28 -0400)
