The intel test report reported the above compile warning on this series:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250627084609-mutt-send-email-mst@kernel.org/T/#md788de2b3a4e9da23ac93b5f1c773a6070b5b4fb

specifically, in patch 4:

+                       if (get_user(features, featurep + 1 + i))
+                               return -EFAULT;

AFAICS such statement is legit, and the bot points to some problem in
the arch specific get_user() implementation. Could you please have a look?

Thanks,

Paolo
