From 83de911cf897a4317147dd9cb379378c2c4abf4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 10:23:10 +0200 Subject: ARM: make user_addr_max more robust MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit With CONFIG_MMU=y get_fs() returns current_thread_info()->addr_limit which is initialized as USER_DS (which in turn is defined to TASK_SIZE) for userspace processes. At least theoretically current_thread_info()->addr_limit is changable by set_fs() to a different limit, so checking for KERNEL_DS is more robust. With !CONFIG_MMU get_fs returns KERNEL_DS. To see what the old variant did you'd have to find out that USER_DS == KERNEL_DS which isn't needed any more with the variant this patch introduces. So it's a bit easier to understand, too. Also if the limit was changed this limit should be returned, not TASK_SIZE.
