Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: Replace kzalloc and memcpy by kmemdup

Thanks!
But rather than that, this whole function (lprocfs_exp_setup) needs to go, since it's not used by anything on the client.
The removal is sitting in my queue of "stop using procfs in lustre" patches that I am going to submit real soon now and this patch would just create
an unnecessary conflict.
