Use memdup_user when user data is immediately copied into the allocated
region. Elimination of the variable ads, which is no longer useful.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression from,to,size,flag;
position p;
identifier l1,l2;
@@
- to = \(kmalloc@p\|kzalloc@p\)(size,flag);
+ to = memdup_user(from,size);
if (
- to==NULL
+ IS_ERR(to)
|| ...) {
<+... when != goto l1;
- -ENOMEM
+ PTR_ERR(to)

}
- if (copy_from_user(to, from, size) != 0) {
- <+... when != goto l2;
- -EFAULT
