Subject: [PATCH 3/4] drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_transport.c: take size of pointed value, not pointer
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:57:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316156255-19509-3-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Sizeof a pointer-typed expression returns the size of the pointer, not that
of the pointed data.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression *e;
type T;
identifier f;
@@

f(...,(T)e,...,
-sizeof(e)
+sizeof(*e)
,...)
// </smpl>
