#315 closed bug (fixed)

device read/writes don't lock memory

Reported by: axeld Owned by: nobody
Priority: critical Milestone: R1/beta2
Component: System/Kernel Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Cc: diver
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description (last modified by waddlesplash)

BeOS made sure the memory buffer passed to a device read/write was safe to be written to. Haiku currently requires the drivers to use user_memcpy() to access those buffers, which is not compatible to how the old driver interface works.

Also, the new file system interface doesn't solve this issue yet, either...

Now the use of user_memcpy is mandatory thanks to SMAP, and all drivers have been converted to use it. Closing as fixed.

I think Wacom is still pending. Probably a ticket for it.

Yes, #14589. But since that's a KDL and just one driver, that doesn't warrant leaving this ticket open.
