From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> 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/) // <smpl> @@ expression *x; expression f; type T; @@ *f(...,(T)x,...) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/cpmac.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/cpmac.c b/drivers/net/cpmac.c index 6782223..8d0be26 100644 --- a/drivers/net/cpmac.c +++ b/drivers/net/cpmac.c @@ -1163,7 +1163,7 @@ static int __devinit cpmac_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) priv->dev = dev; priv->ring_size = 64; priv->msg_enable = netif_msg_init(debug_level, 0xff); - memcpy(dev->dev_addr, pdata->dev_addr, sizeof(dev->dev_addr)); + memcpy(dev->dev_addr, pdata->dev_addr, sizeof(pdata->dev_addr)); snprintf(priv->phy_name, MII_BUS_ID_SIZE, PHY_ID_FMT, mdio_bus_id, phy_id); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
