From 543537bd922692bc978e2e356fcd8bfc9c2ee7d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paulo Marques Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 00:09:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] create a kstrdup library function This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local" implementations in several places to use this function. Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S. Miller. I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code carefully before making changes there.
