Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/9] uaccess: Split check_zeroed_user() out of usercopy.c
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:13:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a6d39afb167871e0459946dfd6b28bc994ae3c81.1777306795.git.chleroy@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1777306795.git.chleroy@kernel.org>
Until commit f5a1a536fa14 ("lib: introduce copy_struct_from_user()
helper"), lib/usercopy.c was containing only the out-line version
of user copy fonctions.
That commit added function check_zeroed_user() into the same file.
Move that function into a new file named usercheck.c, so that next
patch can change usercopy.c build to a conditional build.
