I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows
kmalloc():
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) {
kfree(dst);
return -EFAULT
}
memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code. With this new function, we
don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes. It
also produces smaller code and kernel text.
A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used. I'll
prepare a patchset to do this conversion.
