From 7ec24db8dd7eb7e59316552bda92d950e31999d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Meyer Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2011 10:48:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] staging: spectra: Use memdup_user Use kmemdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation This is a little bit restricted to reduce false positives The semantic patch that makes this output is available in scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci.
