From 81238b2cff1469ff5b94390d026cd075105d6dcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 19:33:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fs: implement kernel_write using __kernel_write Consolidate the two in-kernel write helpers to make upcoming changes easier. The only difference are the missing call to rw_verify_area in kernel_write, and an access_ok check that doesn't make sense for kernel buffers to start with.
