I find the result of struct pointer argument cleaner indeed. I'll go for that
approach.
I'll memset rseq_cs to 0 in the following case though, because the caller
expects the content of the structure to be set when rseq_get_rseq_cs() succeeds.
static int rseq_get_rseq_cs(struct task_struct *t, struct rseq_cs *rseq_cs)
{
struct rseq_cs __user *urseq_cs;
unsigned long ptr;
u32 __user *usig;
u32 sig;
int ret;
ret = __get_user(ptr, &t->rseq->rseq_cs);
if (ret)
return ret;
if (!ptr) {
memset(rseq_cs, 0, sizeof(*rseq_cs));
return 0;
}
[...]
Thanks!
