From 11a4180c0b03e2ee0c948fd8430ee092dc1625b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 02:14:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i386: Use probe_kernel_address instead of __get_user in fault paths Makes the intention of the code cleaner to read and avoids a potential deadlock on mmap_sem. Also change the types of the arguments to not include __user because they're really not user addresses.
