Re: [PATCH -next] scsi: aacraid: Use memdup_user() as a cleanup

[Samuel Zou <zou_wei@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your review and reply.
You are right, it is not equivalent. I will keep the original goto 
cleanup. But the return value is changed to use of PTR_ERR 
(user_srbcmd), and assign it to rcode.
I will send the v2 soon later
