Yes.  It does.  These are from Smatch warnings, right.  They take a few
rebuilds for the taint information to propagate from the ioctl to the
ramdax_get_config_data() function.  When I rebuilt it, then it propagates
to both so I would have seen the ramdax_set_config_data() tomorrow.

But they're called from the same function so the taint data should
have propagated to both at the same time...  WTF?  I don't know what
happened.  Anyway, I will fix that and resend.

Thanks for noticing.

I meant that the  if (struct_size(cmd, in_buf, cmd->in_length) > buf_len)
line checks that cmd->in_length is okay.
