Looking more at it, I think I'd also like copy_flock_fields() to take
pointer arguments, to match all the code around it (both
copy_to/from_user and the memset calls.

The actual order of arguments I suspect Michael's patch did better -
make the copy_flock_fields() just match the order of memcpy() and
copy_to/from_user(), both of which have <dest,src> order.

So I think my preferred patch would be something like this, even if it
is bigger than either.

Comments? Michael, does this work for your case?

Looks sane...

Yeah that works, as committed in your tree. Sorry for the slow reply,
our time zones don't line up all that well :)
