Subject: drivers/net/usb: Use kmemdup
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=175c04414106c34f0130d8d3bf152825b4829ceb;p=linux-beck.git

drivers/net/usb: Use kmemdup

Use kmemdup when some other buffer is immediately copied into the
allocated region.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression from,to,size,flag;
statement S;
@@

-  to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(size,flag);
+  to = kmemdup(from,size,flag);
   if (to==NULL || ...) S
-  memcpy(to, from, size);
// </smpl>
