From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> 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/) // <smpl> @@ expression *x; expression f; type T; @@ *f(...,(T)x,...) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c b/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c index b091e20..f14d225 100644 --- a/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c +++ b/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c @@ -324,7 +324,7 @@ static int rtl8150_set_mac_address(struct net_device *netdev, void *p) dbg("%02X:", netdev->dev_addr[i]); dbg("%02X\n", netdev->dev_addr[i]); /* Set the IDR registers. */ - set_registers(dev, IDR, sizeof(netdev->dev_addr), netdev->dev_addr); + set_registers(dev, IDR, netdev->addr_len, netdev->dev_addr); #ifdef EEPROM_WRITE { u8 cr; -- 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
