I had another look into the code. Right after this patch, I see

#define uaccess_kernel() segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS)

Yet, this patch is:

-       if (CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION(!segment_eq(get_fs(), USER_DS),
+       if (CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION(uaccess_kernel(),

So there is a negation in the condition. Indeed, the following change
on top of next-20200720 fixes the problem for mps2-an385.

-       if (CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION(uaccess_kernel(),
+       if (CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION(!uaccess_kernel(),

How does this work anywhere ?

Thanks,
Guenter
