Due to a check recently added to copy_to_user(), it's now not permitted to copy from slab-held data to userspace unless the slab is whitelisted. This affects rxrpc_recvmsg() when it attempts to place an RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID control message in the userspace control message buffer. A warning is generated by usercopy_warn() because the source is the copy of the user_call_ID retained in the rxrpc_call struct. Work around the issue by copying the user_call_ID to a variable on the stack and passing that to put_cmsg(). The warning generated looks like: Bad or missing usercopy whitelist?

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.
