MIPS: Alchemy: Correct code taking the size of a pointer

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> sizeof(dp) is just the size of the pointer. Change it to the size of the referenced structure. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression *x; expression f; type T; @@ *f(…,(T)x,…) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/789/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle …

drivers/net/usb: Correct code taking the size of a pointer

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> sizeof(dev->dev_addr) is the size of a pointer. A few lines above, the size of this field is obtained using netdev->addr_len for a call to memcpy, so do the same here. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression *x; expression f; …

drivers/net/cpmac.c: Correct code taking the size of a pointer

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> sizeof(dev->dev_addr) is the size of a pointer. On the other hand, sizeof(pdata->dev_addr) is the size of an array, so use that instead. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression *x; expression f; type T; @@ *f(…,(T)x,…) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall …

drivers/net/sfc: Correct code taking the size of a pointer

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> The function efx_iterate_state contains the code memcpy(&payload->msg, payload_msg, sizeof(payload_msg)); This is the only use of payload_msg. The type of payload_msg is changed from a pointer to an array, so that the result of sizeof really is the length of the string. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this …

V4L/DVB (13611): radio-tea5764: Correct size given to memset

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Memset should be given the size of the structure, not the size of the pointer.
