[PATCH review 74/85] cifs: Use BUILD_BUG_ON to validate uids and gids are the same size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The assumption that sizeof(uid_t) is the same as sizeof(gid_t) is
completely reasonable but since we can verify the condition at
compile time.
