[PATCH 5/6] lockdep: Improve a size determination in lock_stat_open()

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

 



From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 22:05:57 +0200

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
