Hi,

usually, function's names are written with () in commit description. 
(i.e. kzalloc()/memcpy()).

memdup should be kmemdup().

Finally the proposed change does not avoid memcpy() failures. Should it 
fail (what does it mean in this context?), kmemdup() would behave 
exactly the same.

sizeof(struct dml2_context) could be sizeof(*dlm2) to be less verbose.
