Hi,

I am trying to write a module in which I have an ioctl through which I
pass a userspace structure. The handler for the ioctl looks like
below.

203 int
204 ohsm_enable(unsigned long arg)
205 {
206
207   int ret = 0;
208   struct ohsm_instance *instance;
209   struct ohsm_userspace ohsm_user_info;
210
211   if (copy_from_user((void *)&ohsm_user_info,
212                 (struct ohsm_userspace __user *)arg,
sizeof(ohsm_user_info)))
213         return -EFAULT;
214
215   return 0;

But this crashes every time and UML gets killed with memory fault. Are
there any known issues with UML and copy_from_user ?? Any guesses what
could be going wrong ?? I am not able to put a breakpoint in
copy_from_user() because it gets called way too much of time.

Thanks for any suggestions... apparently this runs fine on a normal machine.
