Subject: [patch] [media] uvcvideo: remove unneeded access_ok() check
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:35:23 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120321063523.GA20062@elgon.mountain> (raw)

copy_in_user() already checks for write permission, so we don't need to
do it here.  This was added in 1a5e4c867c "[media] uvcvideo: Implement
compat_ioctl32 for custom ioctls".
