If this memdup_user() call fails, the memory allocated in a previous call

This comment is not directed at you and is not related to your patch.
But memdup_user() never returns NULL, only error pointers.  I wrote a
fifteen page blog entry about NULL vs error pointers the other week.
https://staticthinking.wordpress.com/2022/08/01/mixing-error-pointers-and-null/
This should propagate the error code from memdup_user() instead of
-EFAULT.

I take it then that Christophe should redrive this with your suggested
corrections? I haven't applied this yet because I was waiting for
follow-up.


Ok, I'll send a small serie of 3 patches...
