What I was trying to state is that the protocol specific code does not get to see the length passed from the user. The protocol specific code would like to look at what the user passed.
If move_addr_to_user() takes care of all of the issues, there is no reason for the protocol specific code to know anything about the user's len at all.
You have to show me a purpose for it to get passed down. What would it get used for? All the protocol specific could should (and does) do is provide the data back to the top level routine and move_addr_to_user() takes care of the remaining details. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
