Description:
Linus Torvalds rarely writes significant amounts kernel code these days, so
the merging of a 48-part patch series from him is an unusual event. This series,
destined for the 7.4 kernel release, performs some long-delayed kernel
cleanup by removing a couple of the primitives used to access user-space memory
from the kernel. What was once a best practice has long been superseded,
but it can take time for such changes to work their way through a body of
code this large.
