Subject: net/mac80211: Correct size given to memset
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0c3cee72a403e3b4992a5478c9c33d668c246c22;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

net/mac80211: Correct size given to memset

Memset should be given the size of the structure, not the size of the pointer.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
type T;
T *x;
expression E;
@@

memset(x, E, sizeof(
+ *
 x))
// </smpl>
