[PATCH v2 1/6] misc: fastrpc: Use memdup_user()
From: srinivas . kandagatla
Date: Fri Jul 05 2024 - 03:59:19 EST
From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@xxxxxxxxxx>
Switching to memdup_user() overwrites the allocated memory only once,
whereas kzalloc() followed by copy_from_user() initializes the allocated
memory to zero and then immediately overwrites it.
Fixes the following Coccinelle/coccicheck warning reported by
memdup_user.cocci:
WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
