Subject: [PATCH] riscv: uaccess: Relax the threshold for fast path
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 17:19:29 +0800
Message-Id: <20240313091929.4029960-1-xiao.w.wang@intel.com>

The bytes copy for unaligned head would cover at most SZREG-1 bytes, so
it's better to set the threshold as >= (SZREG-1 + word_copy stride size)
which equals to 9*SZREG-1.
