The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is: post_one_send (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave) init_send_wqe copy_from_user --> may sleep There is no flow that makes "qp->is_user" true, and copy_from_user may cause bug when a non-user pointer is used. So the lines of copy_from_user and check of "qp->is_user" are removed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
