Subject: [PATCH] fs/compat_rw_copy_check_uvector: add missing compat_ptr call
Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 13:41:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100528114147.GB3686@osiris.boeblingen.de.ibm.com> (raw)

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

A call to access_ok is missing a compat_ptr conversion. Introduced with
b83733639a494d5f42fa00a2506563fbd2d3015d "compat: factor out
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector from compat_do_readv_writev"

fs/compat.c: In function 'compat_rw_copy_check_uvector':
fs/compat.c:629: warning: passing argument 1 of '__access_ok' makes pointer from integer without a cast

Probably should go into stable like the original patch.
