Subject: [PATCH] USB: core: replace kmalloc + copy_from_user with memdup_user
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 13:56:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250919115654.1011141-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
simplify and improve proc_do_submiturb(). Replace the hard-coded 8 bytes
with the size of 'struct usb_ctrlrequest'.

Return early if an error occurs, and avoid manually setting 'ret' and
using 'goto error'.

No functional changes intended.
