Subject: [PATCH] VMCI: use memdup_user().
Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 17:48:56 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1463746746-23667-1-git-send-email-falakreyaz@gmail.com> (raw)

Use memdup_user to duplicate a memory region from user-space to
kernel-space, instead of open coding using kmalloc & copy_from_user.
