The rd is the pointer that includes struct hfs_cat_key object. So, we need to use &rd->key. But on another side we have struct hfs_find_data object on the stack. And this object includes the pointer on union btree_key. We want to copy struct hfs_cat_key object and we should use sizeof(struct hfs_cat_key). > We don't want to copy sizeof(*fd.key) because that would write past the > end of the destination struct. > > On Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 10:18:56AM -0800, Viacheslav Dubeyko wrote: > > Another worry could be the "search_key" field of the struct > > hfs_find_data. > > I don't understand what you mean here. > I mean here that we could have another incorrect copy operations for "search_key" field. That's all.
