This series of patches create a "char *kstrdup(const char *s, int gfp)" library function, and remove all the "private" strdup implementations in the kernel tree.
1 - create a kstrdup library function 2 - remove private strdup from drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c 3 - remove private strdup from drivers/parport/probe.c 4 - remove uml_strdup (UML architecture) 5 - remove private strdup from net/sunrpc/svcauth_unix.c 6 - remove net_sysctl_strdup (networking) 7 - remove snd_kmalloc_strdup (sound) This is just a cleanup to allow reusing the strdup code, and to prevent bugs in future duplications of strdup. These patches were built against 2.6.11-rc2-bk9. Patch 1/7 is similar to a patch sent by Rusty Russell (although not quite the same), and 2/7 is also similar to another patch sent today by Matt Domsch. So these should go over a vanilla kernel without any of those patches. All the patches depend on the first patch, but are otherwise independent.
