Subject: [PATCH RESEND] x86/fpu: Replace vmalloc + copy_from_user with vmemdup_user in xstateregs_set
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 10:37:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103093721.3142-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace vmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with vmemdup_user() to
improve and simplify xstateregs_set(). Use kvfree() to free.
Return early if an error occurs and remove the obsolete 'out' label.
No functional changes intended.
