Subject: [PATCH TRIVIAL]: linux-2.5.31/drivers/telephony/ixj.c
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 10:49:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020822104948.A7968@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 186 bytes --]

trivial patch to fix the check for following kmalloc size overflow with
elements_used (the type being checked and the type being used were
different, and of different sizes).
