Subject: [PATCH v8 3/3] virtio-console: remove unnecessary kmemdup()
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2021 16:21:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210818082122.166881-4-xianting.tian@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210818082122.166881-1-xianting.tian@linux.alibaba.com>

This revert commit c4baad5029 ("virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack")

hvc framework will never pass stack memory to the put_chars() function,
So the calling of kmemdup() is unnecessary, we can remove it.
