An incorrect sizeof is being used, sizeof(*fields) is not correct,
it should be sizeof(**fields). This is not causing a problem since
the size of these is the same. Fix this in the kmalloc_array and
memcpy calls.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Sizeof not portable (SIZEOF_MISMATCH)")
Fixes: 1bd7face7439 ("ima: allocate field pointers array on demand in template_desc_init_fields()")

Since this patch will be backported, perhaps it would be better to leave this as a bug fix and upstream other changes independently. Mimi ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

IMO: This patch doesn't need need backporting as it doesn't actually fix anything other than a style defect. void * and void ** are the same size. cheers, Joe ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
