Thanks for your information.

The shown source code is reasonable in the update step “[PATCH 27/27] IB/hfi1:
Code reuse with memdup_copy”.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9562565/
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<20170208132830.16442.93943.stgit@...m10.sc.intel.com>

I find the commit subject and message partly inappropriate.
How do you think about to mention other function names there?

Regards,
Markus
