I haven't seen Ido's patch, but it seems clear the issue is that you
want to call `sockptr_advance(&arg, sizeof(tmp))`, and adjust
sockptr_advance to take a pointer.

Slight concern about the whole concept:

Things are defined as

typedef union {
        void            *kernel;
        void __user     *user;
} sockptr_t;
static inline bool sockptr_is_kernel(sockptr_t sockptr)
{
        return (unsigned long)sockptr.kernel >= TASK_SIZE;
}

So what happens if we have some code like:

sockptr_t sp;
init_user_sockptr(&sp, user_controlled_struct.extra_user_ptr);
sockptr_advance(&sp, user_controlled_struct.some_big_offset);
copy_to_sockptr(&sp, user_controlled_struct.a_few_bytes,
sizeof(user_controlled_struct.a_few_bytes));

With the user controlling some_big_offset, he can convert the user
sockptr into a kernel sockptr, causing the subsequent copy_to_sockptr
to be a vanilla memcpy, after which a security disaster ensues.

Maybe sockptr_advance should have some safety checks and sometimes
return -EFAULT? Or you should always use the implementation where
being a kernel address is an explicit bit of sockptr_t, rather than
being implicit?
