Subject: [PATCH 2/3] kobject: Improve a size determination in kobject_uevent_env()
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 16:34:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f007f92c-a355-4bb9-a715-aa42ee6c647b@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e0543d9d-a02a-4c9c-b341-36771cfb5353@web.de>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
