    Subject[PATCH 3.16 263/346] asm-generic: make copy_from_user() zero the destination properly
    3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

    commit 2545e5da080b4839dd859e3b09343a884f6ab0e3 upstream.

    ... in all cases, including the failing access_ok()

    Note that some architectures using asm-generic/uaccess.h have
    __copy_from_user() not zeroing the tail on failure halfway
    through. This variant works either way.
