Subject[PATCH 2/7] VMCI: Improve a size determination in two functions
From
Date
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 17:47:40 +0100

Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
