[PATCH 1/2] IB/core: Use memdup_user() rather than duplicating its implementation

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-21 17:43:07
Also in: linux-rdma, lkml
Subsystem: infiniband subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Jason Gunthorpe, Leon Romanovsky, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 18:45:22 +0200

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
