Subject: Validating Pointers
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 08:36:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9678C2B4D848D41187450090276D1FAE1008EAA8@FMSMSX32> (raw)


Is there a general (correct) kernel subroutine to validate a pointer
received in a routine as input from the outside world?  Is access_ok() a
good one to use?

Andy
