Yeah, this is the reason why I try to fix sival_ptr through
get_compat_sigevent before sys_mq_notify. After this compat wrapper,
sys_mq_notify will put the sival_ptr to nc buffer(file ipc/mqueue.c line 1221
to line 1226):
if (copy_from_user(nc->data,
notification.sigev_value.sival_ptr,
NOTIFY_COOKIE_LEN)) {
ret = -EFAULT;
goto out;
}
/* TODO: add a header? */
skb_put(nc, NOTIFY_COOKIE_LEN);
/* and attach it to the socket */

[PATCH] sparse: ipc compat annotations and cleanups
ipc compat code switched to compat_alloc_user_space() and annotated.

Sorry, I am lost here. As we mentioned above, sival_ptr and sival_int
is union, so, copy sival_ptr should include sival_int.

The following code could fix my issue.
