Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/8] sg_read(): simplify reading ->pack_id of userland sg_io_hdr_t
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2019 20:39:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191017193925.25539-4-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191017193925.25539-1-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
We don't need to allocate a temporary buffer and read the entire
structure in it, only to fetch a single field and free what we'd
allocated. Just use get_user() and be done with it...
