Subject: [PATCH] net:liquidio: use kmemdup
Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 19:22:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1463665972-16451-1-git-send-email-falakreyaz@gmail.com> (raw)
Use kmemdup when some other buffer is immediately copied into allocated
region. It replaces call to allocation followed by memcpy, by a single
call to kmemdup.
