From 8bc8b228d076ae93398316f81eab35f3d12c0c4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Streetman Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:22:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/zswap: change incorrect strncmp use to strcmp Change the use of strncmp in zswap_pool_find_get() to strcmp. The use of strncmp is no longer correct, now that zswap_zpool_type is not an array; sizeof() will return the size of a pointer, which isn't the right length to compare. We don't need to use strncmp anyway, because the existing params and the passed in params are all guaranteed to be null terminated, so strcmp should be used.
