Subject: Re: [patch v2 2/4] x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstate
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:18:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100210141836.GA23861@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100209202502.216592031@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com>
static inline int user_regset_copyout(unsigned int *pos, unsigned int *count,
void **kbuf,
void __user **ubuf, const void *data,
const int start_pos, const int end_pos)
{
if (*count == 0)
return 0;
BUG_ON(*pos < start_pos);
if (end_pos < 0 || *pos < end_pos) {
unsigned int copy = (end_pos < 0 ? *count
: min(*count, end_pos - *pos));
data += *pos - start_pos;
^^^
Is it correct? Shouldn't it be
data += *pos + start_pos;
?
Currently this doesn't matter, start_pos == 0 always. In fact I don't
understand why do we need this arg. In unlikely case the caller wants
to copy the part of *data, it can adjust data/end_pos itself.
Oleg.
