| 107 | There's no need for this check, memdup_user() will handle it. A user-supplied pointer can never be trusted, so there's no real reason to check for NULL specifically (it could be 0x1, or any other invalid value). | |

Removed NULL pointer error checking thanks to @markj. General user pointers are safely checked in memdup_user().

| 109 | I think "n" excludes the NUL character. Why can't you simply do: return (memdup_user_nul(ustr, n)); | |

Used memdup_user_nul() instead of memdup_user() to duplicate memory from userspace. Relevant documentation can be found here:
