Title:
UBUNTU: SAUCE: shiftfs: pass correct point down
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in linux source package in Disco:
In Progress
Bug description:
SRU Justification
Impact: shiftfs is currently passing down an unsigned long to
copy_from_user() which expects a void __user * pointer. This will
cause the compiler to complain because of mismatching types and in
general is rather ugly.
Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs.
Test Case: Compile kernel with patch and see that compiler does not
complain anymore.
Target Kernels: All LTS kernels with shiftfs support.
Patches:
