Subject[PATCH] staging: spectra: Use memdup_user
From
Date
From: Thomas Meyer <thomas@m3y3r.de>

Use kmemdup_user rather than duplicating its implementation
This is a little bit restricted to reduce false positives

The semantic patch that makes this output is available
in scripts/coccinelle/api/memdup_user.cocci.

More information about semantic patching is available at
http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/
