RE: [PATCH] net/ethernet/realtek: Add Realtek automotive PCIe driver

[Justin Lai]

Hi, Jiri Pirko

Our device is multi-function, one of which is netdev and the other is character device. For character devices, we have some custom functions that must use copy_from_user or copy_to_user to pass data.

There are *MANY* thing wrong in this patch spotted just during 5 minutes skimming over the code, but this definitelly tops all of them.
I didn't see so obvious kernel bypass attempt for a long time. Ugh, you can't be serious :/

I suggest to you take couple of rounds of consulting the patch with some skilled upstream developer internaly before you make another submission in order not not to waste time of reviewers.
