In userspace, I perform such operation: fd = open("/tmp/test", O_RDWR | O_SYNC); access_address = (char *)mmap(NULL, uio_size, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, uio_fd, 0); ret = write(fd, access_address + 2, sizeof(long));... you know that accessing this at unaligned offsets isn't going to work. It's completely meaningless. Why are you trying to do it? .
Yeah, it's a wrong usage of access. But maybe it's still a problem an userspace operation makes the kernel crash.
