From 0c3cee72a403e3b4992a5478c9c33d668c246c22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 20:25:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] 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/) // @@ type T; T *x; expression E; @@ memset(x, E, sizeof( + * x)) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: John W.
