Ah right, it was a dumb "optimisation" (since we need to do access_ok() anyway since we should early -EFAULT in that case).

Alright, will do (for some reason I hadn't made the connection that memchr_inv() is doing effectively the same word-by-word comparison but also detecting where the first byte is). --=20 Aleksa Sarai Senior Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH --45flctx23d2mffx4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQSxZm6dtfE8gxLLfYqdlLljIbnQEgUCXXGjoAAKCRCdlLljIbnQ EpC9AP0R1Y7fvOkhCrlqhEeSXH2/w/eSafFO51uuSnY7m3dVegEAm16vVXT68ypo Z7fWiISgwHeOk0U5O9VS4cZGMgtS3ws= =nF2N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --45flctx23d2mffx4--
