[PATCH] i386: Use probe_kernel_address instead of __get_user in fault…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
… paths

Makes the intention of the code cleaner to read and avoids
a potential deadlock on mmap_sem. Also change the types of
the arguments to not include __user because they're really
not user addresses.
