Trivial C quiz: given

struct ashmem_area {
char name[ASHMEM_FULL_NAME_LEN];
struct list_head unpinned_list;
struct file *file;
size_t size;
unsigned long prot_mask;
};
static int set_name(struct ashmem_area *asma, void __user *name)

what, in your opinion, would be
1) type of asma->name
2) type of asma->name + ASHMEM_NAME_PREFIX_LEN
3) value of sizeof(asma->name + ASHMEM_NAME_PREFIX_LEN)
As a bonus question,
4) what is the value of this kind of patches?
