Thanks for your reply, Sergei. I used 'allocated' because kmemdup_nul()
does some allocation in its implementation. And its docs descrips: 
"Return: newly allocated copy of @s with NUL-termination or %NULL in 
case of error". I think it is proper to use 'allocated' here. But it 
could be 'assigned', which is better, right?

Thanks
