Subject: [PATCH 4/6] staging: vt6656: sparse fixes: iwctl_siwgenie use memcpy.
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:23:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389630210.2590.3.camel@canaries32-MCP7A> (raw)
extra is in kernel space replace copy_from_user with
memcpy with no need to error check.
We already know that extra is valid by error checking
on wrq->length.
sparse warning
iwctl.c:1567:53: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
iwctl.c:1567:53: expected void const [noderef] <asn:1>*from
iwctl.c:1567:53: got char *extra
