From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: memcontrol: use the preferred form for passing the size of a structure type Use the preferred form for passing the size of a structure type. The alternative form where the structure type is spelled out hurts readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the object type is changed but the corresponding object identifier to which the sizeof operator is applied is not.
