Subject[PATCH 1/4] drivers/net/enic: decrement sizeof size in strncmp
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

As observed by Joe Perches, sizeof of a constant string includes the
trailing 0. If what is wanted is to check the initial characters of
another string, this trailing 0 should not be taken into account. If an
exact match is wanted, strcmp should be used instead.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression foo;
constant char *abc;
@@

strncmp(foo, abc,
- sizeof(abc)
+ sizeof(abc)-1
)
// </smpl>

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
