Subject: [PATCH] staging: spectra: Use memdup_user
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2011 10:48:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1313225341.16820.19.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

From: Thomas Meyer <thomas@m3y3r.de>

 Use kmemdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation
 This is a little bit restricted to reduce false positives

 The semantic patch that makes this output is available
 in scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci.

 More information about semantic patching is available at
 http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/
