argsz isn't appropriate for most cases because kernel has the check
"expected_argsz < passed_argsz", not "expected_argsz == passed_argsz".
However, I'll fix it as follows to avoid confusion after collecting
more comments:
struct vfio_eeh_pe_op *pe_op;
struct vfio_eeh_pe_err *pe_err;
/* For all cases except error injection */
pe_op = malloc(sizeof(*pe_op));
pe_op->argsz = sizeof(*pe_op);
/* For error injection case here */
pe_op = realloc(sizeof(*pe_op) + sizeof(*pe_err));
pe_op->argsz = sizeof(*pe_op) + sizeof(*pe_err);
pe_err = (void *)pe_op + sizeof(*pe_op);
Thanks,
Gavin
