I'd probably call it UIOVEC, if we want a name that does refer to the same somewhere (*BSD). If anything, it's generalization of copyin/copyout for non-userland destinations/sources; uaccess answer to (subset of) the same problem would be set_fs()/get_fs() and the fewer we have left of that, the better...
[resend PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Clarify UIO vs UACCESS maintainer
The UIO file mask in MAINTAINERS was incorrectly directing UACCESS (include/linux/uio.h) patches to Greg. Tag Al as the UACCESS maintainer as Ingo and others have explicitly required his ack before taking architecture patches that touch lib/iov_iter.c. Cc: Al Viro Reported-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Dan Williams --- I got a bounce last time I tried to send this, hopefully the situation has improved now. Al, let me know if you want this entry. Alternatively we can just do the UIO file mask fixup by itself.

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Clarify UIO vs UACCESS maintainer
The UIO file mask in MAINTAINERS was incorrectly directing UACCESS (include/linux/uio.h) patches to Greg. Tag Al as the UACCESS maintainer as Ingo and others have explicitly required his ack before taking architecture patches that touch lib/iov_iter.c. Cc: Al Viro Reported-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Dan Williams --- Al, let me know if this is ok. Alternatively we could just fix the file mask for UIO and not add a new UACCESS section.
