It's a name that seems like it should be a straightforward cast of a kernel pointer to a __user pointer like:
static inline void __user *to_user_ptr(void *p) { return (void __user *)p; }
ahh, ok. I guess I was used to using it in the context of ioctl structs.. in that context u64 -> (void __user *) made more sense.
Maybe uapi_to_ptr()? (ok, not super-creative.. maybe someone has a better idea)
Maybe u64_to_user_ptr?
That is a good name. If everyone agrees I can resend this patch changing it to u64_to_user_ptr. Then should we still keep it on kernel.h?
works for me
