I think that's due to a bad choice of value being passed by. If you pass the actual length of the string (as suggested in my reply to the previous patch) you should end up with a cleaner set of APIs. The only remaining +1 is for kmalloc_track_caller(), which I ignore what it does. char * __kmemdup_nul(const char *s, size_t len, gfp_t gfp) { char *buf; buf = kmalloc_track_caller(len + 1, gfp); if (!buf) return NULL; strcpy(mempcpy(buf, s, len), ""); return buf; } char * kstrdup(const char *s, gfp_t gfp) { return s ? __kmemdup_nul(s, strlen(s), gfp) : NULL; } char * kstrndup(const char *s, size_t n, gfp_t gfp) { return s ? __kmemdup_nul(s, strnlen(s, n), gfp) : NULL; } char * kmemdup_nul(const char *s, size_t len, gfp_t gfp) { return s ? __kmemdup_nul(s, len, gfp) : NULL; } Have a lovely day!

I reminded myself when checking the definitions that I wrote in shadow: #define XSTRNDUP(s) \ ( \ STRNCAT(strcpy(XMALLOC(strnlen(s, NITEMS(s)) + 1, char), ""), s) \ ) #define STRNDUPA(s) \ ( \ STRNCAT(strcpy(alloca(strnlen(s, NITEMS(s)) + 1), ""), s) \ ) Cheers, Alex > } > > char * > kstrdup(const char *s, gfp_t gfp) > { > return s ? __kmemdup_nul(s, strlen(s), gfp) : NULL; > } > > char * > kstrndup(const char *s, size_t n, gfp_t gfp) > { > return s ? __kmemdup_nul(s, strnlen(s, n), gfp) : NULL; > } > > char * > kmemdup_nul(const char *s, size_t len, gfp_t gfp) > { > return s ? __kmemdup_nul(s, len, gfp) : NULL; > } > > Have a lovely day! > Alex > > -- > <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
