commit 712a30e63c8066ed84385b12edbfb804f49cbc44 Author: Bastian Blank Date: Sun Feb 10 16:47:57 2008 +0200 splice: fix user pointer access in get_iovec_page_array() Commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel. But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.
