Subject: [PATCH] s390/tape: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation
Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2016 19:32:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6b4cac6d-415c-b1e0-9b40-0344ac6f0351@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <566ABCD9.1060404@users.sourceforge.net>

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2016 19:25:34 +0200

Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping
duplicate source code.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
