Similar issue here with how the lines are split. In looking at it, I'm
not even sure how I would split this one up cleanly tbh.. ;) Maybe we
should just create another local variable for the bp size and clean up
the whole hunk. E.g.:
int bpsz = sizeof(struct xfs_buf *);
...
memset((void *)bplist + num_bps_prev * bpsz, 0,
(num_bps - num_bps_prev) * bpsz);
In fact, we could include bpsz in the first patch.
