[PATCH 1/2] net/core: remove address space warnings on verify_iovec()

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Sep 08 2010 - 09:49:18 EST


move_addr_to_kernel() and copy_from_user() requires their argument
as __user pointer but were missing proper markups. Add it.
This removes following warnings from sparse.

net/core/iovec.c:44:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
net/core/iovec.c:44:52: expected void [noderef] <asn:1>*uaddr
net/core/iovec.c:44:52: got void *msg_name
net/core/iovec.c:55:34: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
net/core/iovec.c:55:34: expected void const [noderef] <asn:1>*from
net/core/iovec.c:55:34: got struct iovec *msg_iov
