I'd like to explain my point clearly. My point is that accessing
with get_user as int is questionable. In my case, it's string. I
don't think all the string argment to the kernel should be aligned.
Thank you for the explanation.
I agree with your logic, but not with the fix you sent here before.
I would much rather see a test for the socket option cases that use
the "val", and in those cases do the get_user calls. Ie. something
like:
if (optname == X || optname == Y || optname == Z || ...) {
if(optlen>=sizeof(int)) {
if(get_user(val, (int *) optval))
...
}
Could you send me a patch which fixes the problem in this way?
Thank you.
Later,
