From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 19:35:51 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Merge branch 'hch' (maccess patches from Christoph Hellwig) X-Git-Tag: v5.15~3547 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5e857ce6eae7ca21b2055cca4885545e29228fe2;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git Merge branch 'hch' (maccess patches from Christoph Hellwig) Merge non-faulting memory access cleanups from Christoph Hellwig: "Andrew and I decided to drop the patches implementing your suggested rename of the probe_kernel_* and probe_user_* helpers from -mm as there were way to many conflicts. After -rc1 might be a good time for this as all the conflicts are resolved now" This also adds a type safety checking patch on top of the renaming series to make the subtle behavioral difference between 'get_user()' and 'get_kernel_nofault()' less potentially dangerous and surprising. * emailed patches from Christoph Hellwig : maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault maccess: rename probe_user_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_user_nofault maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault --- 5e857ce6eae7ca21b2055cca4885545e29228fe2
