From 1661f2e21c8bbf922dcb76faf2126a33ffe4cddb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 11:19:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] floppy: replace wrong kmalloc(GFP_USER) with GFP_KERNEL The raw_cmd_copyin() function does a kmalloc() with GFP_USER, although the allocated structure is obviously not mapped to userspace, just copied from/to. In this case GFP_KERNEL is more appropriate, so let's use it, although in the current implementation this does not manifest as any error.
