Subject: Re: [patch] hfs: fix hfs_readdir()

Hm, I completely didn't see that it was a union instead of a struct.  I
still think my fix is actually correct though.  Now that you point out
the union, I see that my change is equivalent to just removing the '&'
char.

-	memcpy(&rd->key, &fd.key, sizeof(struct hfs_cat_key));
+	memcpy(&rd->key, fd.key, sizeof(struct hfs_cat_key));

We don't want to copy sizeof(*fd.key) because that would write past the
end of the destination struct.

I don't understand what you mean here.
