Thanks for these reports! I wrote a coccinelle script to find these,
but it requires some manual checking. For what it's worth, it found
your report as well:

./drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c:116:5-19: potentially dangerous
second copy_from_user()

So I should probably get this added to the coccicheck run... Maybe it
can get some clean up from Julia. :)

virtual report
virtual org

@cfu_twice@
position p;
identifier src;
expression dest1, dest2, size1, size2, offset;
@@

*copy_from_user(dest1, src, size1)
... when != src = offset
when != src += offset
*copy_from_user@p(dest2, src, size2)

@script:python depends on org@
p << cfu_twice.p;
@@

cocci.print_main("potentially dangerous second copy_from_user()",p)

@script:python depends on report@
p << cfu_twice.p;
@@

coccilib.report.print_report(p[0],"potentially dangerous second
copy_from_user()")


It would be great to have some one go through all the reports to see
which are legit. I'll send separate emails with the patch for
coccicheck and the output.
