* Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping duplicate source code. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. * Return directly if this copy operation failed. * Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
