Subject: [PATCH 13/13] perf tests: Do not use sizeof on pointer type
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 11:57:41 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461941861-24207-14-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1461941861-24207-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>
From: Vaishali Thakkar <vaishali.thakkar@oracle.com>
Using sizeof on a malloced pointer type will return the wordsize which
can often cause one to allocate a buffer much smaller than it is needed.
So, here do not use sizeof on pointer type.
Note that this has no effect on runtime because 'dsos' is a pointer to a
pointer.
Problem found using Coccinelle.
