Subject: [PATCH] tty: vt/keyboard: Hoist and reuse variable in vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 13:34:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226123419.737669-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Hoist 'len' and use it in both cases.
The last 'kbs' assignment is useless and a leftover from commit
bfb24564b5fd ("tty: vt/keyboard: use __free()"). Remove it.
Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
