This isn't quite true. __get/put_kernel_nofault now sets a different extable type (as the commit message says). But, nothing special seems to be done with that, so there's effectively no functional change. Can you please elaborate on the motivation for this change? Where will the KACCESS type need to be distinguished from the UACCESS type?
Thanks, drew
