Subject: [PATCH] pds_fwctl: Replace kzalloc + copy_from_user with memdup_user in pdsfc_fw_rpc
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 17:09:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917150941.168887-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Replace kzalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify pdsfc_fw_rpc().

Return early if an error occurs and remove the obsolete 'err_out' label.

No functional changes intended.
