Sorry, this doesn't work here either: this would return the wrong
value from read.

Of course, everyone who does more than one copy_to_user should be
checking that return value, and not doing:

if (copy_to_user(uptr....)
|| copy_to_user(uptr+10,....)
return -EFAULT

So that such gc schemes actually work,
Rusty.
