Subject: [PATCH 06/10] WMI: simplify handling of returned WMI blocks in parse_wdg()
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:15:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100826071509.7976.8827.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100826071442.7976.93972.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

There is no reason why we allocate memory and copy data into an
intermediate buffer, it is not like we are working with data coming
from userspace.
