Title:
  UBUNTU: SAUCE: shiftfs: pass correct point down

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Disco:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: shiftfs is currently passing down an unsigned long to
  copy_from_user() which expects a void __user * pointer. This will
  cause the compiler to complain because of mismatching types and in
  general is rather ugly.

  Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs.

  Test Case: Compile kernel with patch and see that compiler does not
  complain anymore.

  Target Kernels: All LTS kernels with shiftfs support.

  Patches:
