Subject: scsi: megaraid_sas: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=709ab231f8b4417411147dd9730928ba214d5c31;p=linux-beck.git

scsi: megaraid_sas: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

Reuse existing functionality from memdup_user() instead of keeping
duplicate source code.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
