Use of ptrdiff_t in places like

-                       if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, u_tmp->rx_buf, u_tmp->len))
+                       if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, (u8 __user *)
+                                               (ptrdiff_t) u_tmp->rx_buf,
+                                               u_tmp->len))

is wrong; for one thing, it's a bad C (it's what uintptr_t is for; in general
we are not even promised that ptrdiff_t is large enough to hold a pointer,
just enough to hold a difference between two pointers within the same object).
For another, it confuses the fsck out of sparse.

Use unsigned long or uintptr_t instead.  There are several places misusing
ptrdiff_t; fixed.
