Does it? If this is from the code in linux-next, then the code does a
user_access_begin/end in csum_and_copy_{from,to}_user, then uses
unsafe_{get,put}_user inside those function itself. But then they call
csum_partial_copy_generic with the __user casted away, but without any
comment on why this is safe.
