Subject: [PATCH] Use get_user for 64-bit read in sendfile64
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 11:17:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040419101731.GD13007@mail.shareable.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20040419101446.GC13007@mail.shareable.org>

Patch: sendfile64_get_user-2.6.5
Requires: uaccess64-2.6.5-jl2

Use get_user instead of copy_from_user to read a loff_t.
Compiled output is identical on i386.
