Thanks for your review. It's my mistake, I blindly follow the pattern in
rvu_debugfs

static ssize_t rvu_dbg_qsize_write(struct file *filp,
const char __user *buffer, size_t count,
loff_t *ppos, int blktype)
{
cmd_buf = memdup_user(buffer, count + 1);
if (IS_ERR(cmd_buf))
return -ENOMEM;

cmd_buf[count] = '\0';
}

I will send a patch to fix this too.

For this case, as the original code uses vmemdup_user, which internally
uses kvmalloc not kmalloc, so I try to keep the original behavior. And
vmemdup_user does not have the counterpart vmemdup_user_nul. I can
kvmalloc(lbuf + 1), then copy_to_user(lbuf) and set buffer[lbuf] = '\0'
or do you think I should create vmemdup_user_nul?

Thanks,
Quang Minh.
