David Howells a16b8d0cf2 rxrpc: Work around usercopy check
Due to a check recently added to copy_to_user(), it's now not permitted to
copy from slab-held data to userspace unless the slab is whitelisted.  This
affects rxrpc_recvmsg() when it attempts to place an RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID
control message in the userspace control message buffer.  A warning is
generated by usercopy_warn() because the source is the copy of the
user_call_ID retained in the rxrpc_call struct.

Work around the issue by copying the user_call_ID to a variable on the
stack and passing that to put_cmsg().

The warning generated looks like:

	Bad or missing usercopy whitelist? Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'dmaengine-unmap-128' (offset 680, size 8)!
	WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1401 at mm/usercopy.c:81 usercopy_warn+0x7e/0xa0

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
