From 5702222c9a7af4a207066d54aa95cfe31f34f2f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 11:12:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Input: joydev - use memdup_user() to duplicate memory from user-space The memdup_user() helper function can be used to duplicate a memory region from user-space to kernel-space. There is no need to open code the same logic using kmalloc() and copy_from_user() instead.
