Subject: [PATCH RESEND] x86/fpu: Use vmemdup_user() in xstateregs_set()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:55:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720195534.70111-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace the open-coded vmalloc() and copy_from_user() with
vmemdup_user() to simplify xstateregs_set().
vmemdup_user() returns an ERR_PTR() on failure, preserving the existing
-ENOMEM and -EFAULT error codes. Since vmemdup_user() is backed by
kvmalloc(), use kvfree() to free the buffer instead.
Return early on error and drop the obsolete out label.
