Indeed, and that fault address rounding bug occurs two other times
in arch/sparc/lib/user_fixup.c

The mentioned patchwork patch should fix the bug and I'll get that
into my sparc tree, merged, and queued up for -stable ASAP.

Plausible for sparc, but I don't see similar __copy_to_user_inatomic()
bugs in case of x86_64...

I'm going to go ahead and say this is where my issue and the op's issue begin to branch apart from one another. He's seeing this on all incoming data, whereas i am only seeing it on ssl data and not on sun4v.

At this point i would say data from my issue is only going to cloud this issue as they seem to be two completely different issues revolving around the same commit. If i come across any relevant data for x86_64 ill be sure to post it if this isn't resolved by then, but for now i'm going to refrain from submitting anything sparc related.
