It took me a while to verify that the intent here was not to clear only part of the struct. Using sizeof(variable_name) instead of sizeof(type) is more readable. But then you get into the thing where the line before uses sizeof(type)... Oh well, I've sent both styles and the maintainer can choose. :) regards, dan carpenter -- 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
