[PATCH] fs/nilfs2: copy userspace-array safely

From: Philipp Stanner
Date: Thu Nov 02 2023 - 14:39:07 EST


ioctl.c utilizes memdup_user() to copy a userspace array. This is done
without an overflow-check.

Use the new wrapper memdup_array_user() to copy the array more safely.

Linus recently merged this new wrapper for Kernel v6.7
