From 93b071139a956e51c98cdefd50a47981a4eb852e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinobu Mita Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 22:46:21 -0700 Subject: introduce memory_read_from_buffer() This patch introduces memory_read_from_buffer(). The only difference between memory_read_from_buffer() and simple_read_from_buffer() is which address space the function copies to. simple_read_from_buffer copies to user space memory. memory_read_from_buffer copies to normal memory.
