__clear_user() and kernel memory

[javi...@kernel-labs.org]

Hi all!

I have looking for information about to use __clear_user after allow
memory from kernel space with kmalloc, and I have found exactly the
same question:

However there isn't answer. Can anybody help me, please?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Ok. It's a mistake, it's a __clear_user function misuse. All
__clear_user called functions after kmalloc in kernel code have been
dropped.
