Repository : ssh://git@open-mesh.org/batman-adv On branch : master commit 8af877b110548408b1fdf7ddbed830be68d7fb05 Author: Linus Torvalds &lt;torvalds(a)linux-foundation.org&gt; Date: Tue Jan 8 09:16:21 2019 +0100 batman-adv: Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all.
