mm/mempolicy.c: make copy_from_user() provably correct
When compiling mm/mempolicy.c with struct user copy checks the following warning is shown: In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:572, from include/linux/uaccess.h:5, from include/linux/highmem.h:7, from include/linux/pagemap.h:10, from include/linux/mempolicy.h:70, from mm/mempolicy.c:68: In function `copy_from_user', inlined from `compat_sys_get_mempolicy' at mm/mempolicy.c:1415: arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:64: warning: call to `copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct LD mm/built-in.o Fix this by passing correct buffer size value.
