[PATCH net-next 02/12] mptcp: pm: in-kernel: use kmemdup helper

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Thu Mar 13 2025 - 06:22:29 EST


From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of using kmalloc() or kzalloc() to allocate an entry and
then immediately duplicate another entry to the newly allocated
one, kmemdup() helper can be used to simplify the code.
