ia64: validate user arguments in csum_partial_copy_from_user csum_partial_copy_from_user needs to validate that the argument points to userspace and not kernelspace (see for example commit 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92). Consequently, we need to use copy_from_user instead of __copy_from_user.
We also need to change csum_partial_copy_nocheck - this function is called with src pointing to kernel space, so we call set_fs(KERNEL_DS) to prevent copy_from_user from failing.
