From 87ece583310d47bcf0027e4a77c990bbb010fc5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: H Hartley Sweeten Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 12:02:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: comedi_fops: introduce __comedi_get_user_cmd() The COMEDI_CMD and COMEDI_CMDTEST ioctl functions both copy the comedi_cmd passed by the user from __user memory space to kernel memory space. They then do some basic sanity checking of the cmd before the subdevice (*do_cmdtest) and (*do_cmd) operations are called. Introduce a helper function to handle the copy_from_user() and do the basic sanity checking.
