From 4afe6495e5cb3c352d95f07512cbb227e607e2ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Xiaoqiang Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2016 15:23:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Don't use the address of the buffer array name in copy_from_user With the following code snippet: ... char buf[64]; ... if (copy_from_user(&buf, ubuf, cnt)) ... Even though the value of "&buf" equals "buf", but there is no need to get the address of the "buf" again. Use "buf" instead of "&buf".
