Subject: sockptr: introduce copy_struct_to_sockptr()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c5ca9f85d7fe27a8c9c88195bb819e8b569fa930;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

sockptr: introduce copy_struct_to_sockptr()

We already have copy_struct_from_sockptr() as wrapper to
copy_struct_from_user() or copy_struct_from_bounce_buffer(),
so it's good to have copy_struct_to_sockptr()
as well matching the behavior of copy_struct_to_user()
or copy_struct_to_bounce_buffer().

The world would be better without sockptr_t, but having
copy_struct_to_sockptr() is better than open code it
in various places.

I'll use this in my IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT work,
but maybe it will also be useful for others...
IPPROTO_QUIC will likely also use it.
