Subject: [PATCH] scsi: bfa: Replace kzalloc + copy_from_user with memdup_user
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 16:40:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250918144031.175148-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace kzalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify bfad_im_bsg_els_ct_request(). memdup_user() returns
either -ENOMEM or -EFAULT (instead of -EIO) if an error occurs.
Use u64_to_user_ptr() instead of manually casting 'bsg_data->payload'.
No functional changes intended other than returning the more idiomatic
error code -EFAULT.
