Subject: [PATCH 0/2] uaccess: Add masked_user_read_access_begin
Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2025 10:55:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250209105600.3388-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
The code pattern for masked user access is unwieldy.
Add a new wrapper masked_user_read_access_begin() to simplify it.
Add the equivalent write wrapper.
Change fs/select.c to use the new wrappers when reading the
sigset_argpack and when writing out the result of poll.
The futex code could also be changed.
Note that this might conflict with the patch to change
get_sigset_argpack to __always_inline.
