Subject: [RFC PATCH 06/14] arm64/crash_dump: Use the new interface copy_oldmem_page_buf
Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2021 16:12:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211203104231.17597-7-amit.kachhap@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211203104231.17597-1-amit.kachhap@arm.com>
The current interface copy_oldmem_page() passes user pointer without
__user annotation and hence does unnecessary user/kernel pointer
conversions during its implementation.
Implement the interface copy_oldmem_page_buf() to avoid this issue.
