Subject: [char-misc-next 2/6] mei: ioctl: use sizeof of variable instead of struct type
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 17:59:23 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200723145927.882743-3-tomas.winkler@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200723145927.882743-1-tomas.winkler@intel.com>

Use sizeof(connect_data))) instead of
sizeof(struct mei_connect_client_data) when copying data
between user space and kernel.

There is a possibility of bug when variable type has changed but
corresponding struct passed to the sizeof has not.
