Hi Alexey,

This is followed by:

		rfi = kzalloc(buf_size, GFP_ATOMIC);
		...
		rfi->pktslots = (struct sk_buff **)(rfi + 1);

The type of rfi is struct brcmf_ampdu_rx_reorder, which looks like this:

struct brcmf_ampdu_rx_reorder {
        struct sk_buff **pktslots;                                       
	...
};

And it looks to me that pkt is used as an array of (struct sk_buff *).

So in all, it seems to me that the current code is correct.

Is there a particular code that leads you to think otherwise?

Kind regards,
Simon
