Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Replace kmalloc() + copy_from_user() with memdup_user()
Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2025 10:10:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250902081046.35463-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify set_context_image(), and to silence the following
Coccinelle/coccicheck warning reported by memdup_user.cocci:
WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
No functional changes intended.
Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

Resending this (with updated patch subject and description) because the
CI logs [1] from my first submission [2] about a year ago are no longer
available.
