[PATCH] btrfs: simplify kmalloc+copy_from_user to memdup_user

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use memdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation
This is a little bit restricted to reduce false positives

The semantic patch that makes this report is available
in scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci.

More information about semantic patching is available at
