Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] pinctrl: Duplicate user memory in one go in pinmux_select()
Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2023 16:12:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230604131215.78847-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Current code is suboptimal in three ways:
1) it explicitly terminates the string which is not needed;
2) it might provoke additional faults, because asked lenght might be
bigger than the real one;
3) it consumes more than needed lines in the source.
Instead of using kmalloc() + strncpy_from_user() + terminating, just
utilize memdup_user_nul().
