[PATCH v2 01/10] asm-generic: uaccess s/might_sleep/might_fault/

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>
Date: 2013-05-16 11:21:15
Also in: kvm, linux-arch, linux-arm-kernel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: generic include/asm header files, the rest · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Linus Torvalds

The only reason uaccess routines might sleep
is if they fault. Make this explicit.
