__access_ok() was returning true when size == 0 up to now. Any reason to
return false now ?

No, this is accidental and broken. Can you re-run your benchmark with
this fixed?

Is TASK_SIZE_MASK defined such that you can do:

return (addr | size) < TASK_SIZE_MAX) || !size;

TASK_SIZE_MAX will usually be 0xc0000000

With:
addr = 0x80000000;
size = 0x80000000;

I expect it to fail ....

With the formula you propose it will succeed, won't it ?
