Fix compat regression in process_vm_rw()
The removal of compat_process_vm_{readv,writev} didn't change process_vm_rw(), which always assumes it's not doing a compat syscall. Instead of passing in 'false' unconditionally for 'compat', make it conditional on in_compat_syscall(). [ Both Al and Christoph point out that trying to access a 64-bit process from a 32-bit one cannot work anyway, and is likely better prohibited, but that's a separate issue - Linus ] Fixes: c3973b401ef2 ("mm: remove compat_process_vm_{readv,writev}") Reported-and-tested-by: Kyle Huey <me@kylehuey.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
