From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Thierry Reding Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 15:01:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [IA64] Fix zeroing of PDAs Message-Id: <1406559709-9401-1-git-send-email-thierry.reding@gmail.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Tony Luck , Fenghua Yu Cc: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org From: Thierry Reding The code uses a the following to zero out a PDA: memset(pda, 0, sizeof(pda)); But sizeof(pda) will return the size of a pointer rather than the size of the structure pointed to. This triggers the following warning from GCC: arch/ia64/sn/kernel/setup.c:582:23: warning: argument to 'sizeof' in 'memset' call is the same pointer type 'struct pda_s *' as the destination; expected 'struct pda_s' or an explicit length [-Wsizeof-pointer-memaccess] memset(pda, 0, sizeof(pda)); ^ Fix this by passing in the size of the structure using sizeof(*pda) instead.
