From d18eb45332478f319e5cf996e093228a68864cce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:28:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Directly check read of icmp packet in copy_from_user The access_ok read check can be directly done in copy_from_user since a failure of access_ok is handled the same way as an error in __copy_from_user.
