Subject: [patch] wireless: at76c50x: allocating too much data
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:47:05 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120420064705.GE22649@elgon.mountain> (raw)
This is a cut and paste mistake, sizeof(struct mib_local) was intended
instead of sizeof(struct mib_phy). The call to at76_get_mib() uses
sizeof(struct mib_local) correctly.
The current code works fine because mib_phy structs are larger than
mib_local structs. But we may as well clean it up.
