[RFC PATCH 7/8] sg_write(): get rid of access_ok()/__copy_from_user()/__get_user()

From: Al Viro
Date: Thu Oct 17 2019 - 15:40:03 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Just use plain copy_from_user() and get_user(). Note that while
a buf-derived pointer gets stored into ->dxferp, all places that
actually use the resulting value feed it either to import_iovec()
or to import_single_range(), and both will do validation.
