Revision d12c202289b07037da285299b4122fa2072eca96 authored by Fuqian Huang on 03 July 2019, 16:27:18 UTC, committed by Alex Deucher on 05 July 2019, 20:54:55 UTC
kmemdup is introduced to duplicate a region of memory in a neat way.
Rather than kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy, which the programmer needs to
write the size twice (sometimes lead to mistakes), kmemdup improves
readability, leads to smaller code and also reduce the chances of mistakes.
Suggestion to use kmemdup rather than using kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy.
