Please give me a big huge comment about why this is not the same size of the variable being assigned to it, otherwise someone else is going to come along and make the exact same change again. > if (!net->ibn_fmr_ps) { > CERROR("Failed to allocate FMR pool array\n"); > rc = -ENOMEM; > @@ -1992,7 +1992,7 @@ static int kiblnd_net_init_pools(kib_net_t *net, __u32 *cpts, int ncpts) > > create_tx_pool: > net->ibn_tx_ps = cfs_percpt_alloc(lnet_cpt_table(), > - sizeof(*net->ibn_tx_ps)); > + sizeof(kib_tx_poolset_t)); Same here, why is this code wrong? thanks, greg k-h
