From 36028d5dd71175c332ab634e089e16dbdfe3812b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 17:38:31 +0100 Subject: fs: add ksys_p{read,write}64() helpers; remove in-kernel calls to syscalls Using the ksys_p{read,write}64() wrappers allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls to the sys_pread64() and sys_pwrite64() syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_p{read,write}64(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
