Hello I'm trying to copy a character pointer into another character pointer. I currently have

static char *my_kstrdup(const char *buf)
{
    char *ptr, *ret;

    ret = ptr = kmalloc(strlen(buf));
    if(ptr = NULL)
	panic("kmalloc returned NULL");

    for(; *buf != '\0'; ++ptr, ++buf)
	*ptr = *buf;

    *ptr = '\0';

    return ret;
}

it seems to be crashing with the for loop, any advice?

In if check you are re assigning ptr as NULL
