[patch] irqchip/irq-crossbar: not allocating enough memory

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

 



We are allocating the size of a pointer and not the size of the data.
This will lead to memory corruption.

There isn't actually a "cb_device" struct, btw.  The code is only able
to compile because GCC knows that all pointers are the same size.
