Message-Id: <200707190130.39067.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:30:38 +0200 From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@...il.com> To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Hellstrom <thomas@...gstengraphics.com>, Alan Hourihane <alanh@...gstengraphics.com>, Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH] cr_backlight_probe allocates too little storage for struct cr_panel Hi, The Coverity checker noticed that we allocate too little storage for "struct cr_panel *crp" in cr_backlight_probe(). We allocate sizeof(crp) where we should really be allocating sizeof(*crp) - or sizeof(struct cr_panel) - I chose the first notation. This patch should fix the problem.
