[PATCH 04/29] IB/mlx4: Improve another size determination in alloc_pv_object()

From: SF Markus Elfring
Date: Sat Feb 18 2017 - 15:52:01 EST


From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
