[PATCH 1/2] ALSA: compress: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

Show all headers | View raw

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 21:02:06 +0200

Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping
duplicate source code.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
