[PATCH v3 0/4] compat: remove compat_alloc_user_space callers

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon May 17 2021 - 16:34:47 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

Going through compat_alloc_user_space() to convert indirect system call
arguments tends to add complexity compared to handling the native and
compat logic in the same code.

There is one other trivial patch I resent for the atomisp staging driver
and a longer series for networking ioctls that I need to revalidate
before submitting again.

Sorry for the long delay before resending this. Once everyone is happy
with the latest version, I would add it to the asm-generic tree for
a 5.14 merge.
