Subject: [PATCH V2] fs: switch over to vmemdup_user()
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2021 04:31:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1634556663-38749-1-git-send-email-wangqing@vivo.com> (raw)

This patch fixes the following Coccinelle warning:

fs/xattr.c:563:8-15: WARNING opportunity for vmemdup_user

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