[PATCH] pmcraid: redundant check in pmcraid_check_ioctl_buffer()?

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

 



struct pmcraid_ioctl_header member buffer_length is unsigned, so
this check appears redundant.

Or should we replace it by a check like
if (hdr->buffer_length > MAX) ... ?
