[PATCH 2/2] ext4: Improve a size determination in two functions

Show all headers | View raw

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2017 13:14:26 +0200

Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
