[PATCH 132/48] libertas: change inference about buffer size in lbs_cmd()

[David Woodhouse]

Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:03:19 +0000

sizeof(*cmd) is going to give the total size of the data structure that
we allocated, more often than not. But the size of the command to be
_sent_ could be a lot smaller, as it is in the KEY_MATERIAL and
SUBSCRIBE_EVENT commands for example. So swap them round; let the caller
set the _command_ size explicitly in the header, and infer the
maximum response size from the data structure.
