[PATCH 1/5] drivers/mtd : Correct the size argument to kzalloc

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Tue Dec 29 2009 - 14:16:06 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

mtd_list has type struct mtd_info **, not struct mtd_info *, so the
elements of the array should have pointer type, not structure type.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@disable sizeof_type_expr@
type T;
T **x;
@@

x =
<+...sizeof(
- T
+ *x
)...+>
// </smpl>
