sizeof when applied to a pointer typed expression gives the size of the pointer. tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/test_tunnel_kern.c:678:41-47: ERROR: application of sizeof to pointer The proper fix in this particular case is to code sizeof(*gopt) instead of sizeof(gopt). This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Fixes: 5ddafcc377f9 ("selftests/bpf: Fix a few tests for GCC related warnings.")
