[PATCH 0/2] uaccess: Add masked_user_read_access_begin

From: David Laight
Date: Sun Feb 09 2025 - 05:56:21 EST


The code pattern for masked user access is unwieldy.
Add a new wrapper masked_user_read_access_begin() to simplify it.
Add the equivalent write wrapper.

Change fs/select.c to use the new wrappers when reading the
sigset_argpack and when writing out the result of poll.

The futex code could also be changed.

Note that this might conflict with the patch to change
get_sigset_argpack to __always_inline.

uaccess: Simplify code pattern for masked user copies
fs: Use masked_user_read_access_begin()
