SubjectRe: [PATCH] kernel: trace: blktrace: remove redundent memcpy() in compat_blk_trace_setup()
A quick review of this patch looks fine to me.

Although, using ARRAY_SIZE() for a character string seems to me a bit
over paranoid. But I'm fine with it, as it makes sure that the string
is an array and not a pointer.

Jens,

Can you give me an Acked-by?
