[Devel] [PATCH] Sync compat getdents on ia64 and parisc

From: Alexandr Andreev <aandreev at openvz.org>

Add VERIFY_WRITE check in the beginning like compat_sys_getdents()
[EINVAL vs EFAULT on ia64.
 EFAULT on parisc if put_user() fails. --adobriyan]

Can arch maintainers look if compat_sys_getdents() is OK for them?
