[PATCH V3] staging: r8188eu: Fix unsafe memory access by memcmp.

From: Charlie Sands
Date: Wed Apr 06 2022 - 09:49:28 EST


This patch fixes sparse warnings about the memcmp function unsafely accessing
userspace memory without first copying it to kernel space.

Signed-off-by: Charlie Sands <sandsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---

V2: Fixed checkpatch.pl warning and changed variable name as suggested by Greg
K. H. and improved error checking on the "copy_from_user" function as suggested
by Pavel Skripkin.

V3: return -EFAULT from the function when there is a memory error while moving
it from user space to kernel space and fix incorrect subject from V2
