This fixes several bugs around the copy_to/from user path: - copy_to used the user provided size of the attribute and could copy data beyond the end of the kernel buffer into userspace. - copy_from didn't know the size of the kernel buffer and could have left kernel memory unexpectedly un-initialized. - copy_from did not use the user length to determine if the attribute data is inlined or not.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
