I agree, but I didn't suggest it for performance reasons.
I was thinking about future proofing, that is if the architecture is extended.
We don't know if future extensions are best handled in the kernel or user space,
so if we prevent it from going to user space, we can defer the decision to when we know more.
But that's only relevant if STSI can be extended without a capability, which is why I asked about that.

Wait no, I didn't get how that works. You're passing the value via attr->attr, not reading it from addr.

I won't insist on it, but I do think it's more readable.

You're right, it doesn't make a difference.
What about doing put_user(topo, (u8 *)attr->addr)), seems more straight forward.
