Subject: [PATCH] crypto: qat - Replace kzalloc() + copy_from_user() with memdup_user()
Date: Fri,  5 Sep 2025 18:39:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905163915.523396-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Replace kzalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify adf_ctl_alloc_resources(). memdup_user() returns
either -ENOMEM or -EFAULT (instead of -EIO) if an error occurs.

Remove the unnecessary device id initialization, since memdup_user()
(like copy_from_user()) immediately overwrites it.

No functional changes intended other than returning the more idiomatic
error code -EFAULT.
