[PATCH 1/5] drivers/mtd : Correct the size argument to kzalloc

Tue Dec 29 14:15:23 EST 2009
From: Julia Lawall <julia at diku.dk>
mtd_list has type struct mtd_info **, not struct mtd_info *, so the
elements of the array should have pointer type, not structure type.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@disable sizeof_type_expr@
type T;
T **x;
@@
x =
<+...sizeof(
- T
+ *x
)...+>
// </smpl>
