If you want to do this, I want to do at least the entire drivers/pci directory at once so we don't have a bunch of onesy-twosy patches.

Also, please mention that the doc is from the kstrndup() function comment. > Signed-off-by: Chen Zhou <chenzhou10@...wei.com> > --- > drivers/pci/endpoint/pci-epf-core.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/pci/endpoint/pci-epf-core.c b/drivers/pci/endpoint/pci-epf-core.c > index 244e00f48c5c..f035d2ebcae5 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/endpoint/pci-epf-core.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/endpoint/pci-epf-core.c > @@ -252,7 +252,7 @@ struct pci_epf *pci_epf_create(const char *name) > return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); > > len = strchrnul(name, '.') - name; > - epf->name = kstrndup(name, len, GFP_KERNEL); > + epf->name = kmemdup_nul(name, len, GFP_KERNEL); > if (!epf->name) { > kfree(epf); > return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); > -- > 2.20.1 >
