OK, you posted your version of the patch, and you just had to include
the quote from me that happened to have a grammar mistake:

  As reported by Steven Rostedt:
    
     "Yes, strnlen_user() returns 0 on fault, but if you look at what len is
      set to, than you would notice that on fault len would be -1"

Ug, my "than" stupidity is forever carved in the git stone logs.

At least you didn't stick a "(sic)" in there.
