[RFC PATCH 05/14] x86/crash_dump_32: Use the new interface copy_oldmem_page_buf

From: Amit Daniel Kachhap
Date: Fri Dec 03 2021 - 05:43:26 EST


The current interface copy_oldmem_page() passes user pointer without
__user annotation and hence does unnecessary user/kernel pointer
conversions during its implementation.

Implement the interface copy_oldmem_page_buf() to avoid this issue.
