From e49332bd12e92da2df6d002f857ec62675ba2648 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Sun, 1 May 2005 08:59:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] misc verify_area cleanups There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for access_ok - deprecate those. There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out code, fix those up to use access_ok. After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release or two.
