ngene: properly handle __user ptr
commit 04da2dae upstream. Sparse is complaining about ngene's bad usage of a __user ptr: >> drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: expected unsigned char const [usertype] *buf drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: got char const [noderef] <asn:1>*buf As this is intercepting a .write() file ops, we can't just memcpy. We need to use copy_from_user. Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <m.chehab@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
