Would you prefer updating the description to something like below? The only difference between memdup_user_nul() and memdup_user() should be that the former appends trailing nul byte. Apply three changes in the latter to the former. commit 6c2c97a24f09 ("memdup_user(): switch to GFP_USER") commit 6c8fcc096be9 ("mm: don't let userspace spam allocations warnings") commit d73778e4b867 ("mm/util: Use dedicated slab buckets for memdup_user()")
