[PATCH] ceph: fix wrong sizeof argument issue in register_session()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Viacheslav Dubeyko <Slava.Dubeyko@xxxxxxx>

The Coverity Scan service has detected the wrong sizeof
argument in register_session() [1]. The CID 1598909 defect
contains explanation: "The wrong sizeof value is used in
an expression or as argument to a function. The result is
an incorrect value that may cause unexpected program behaviors.
In register_session: The sizeof operator is invoked on
the wrong argument (CWE-569)".

The patch introduces a ptr_size variable that is initialized
by sizeof(struct ceph_mds_session *). And this variable is used
instead of sizeof(void *) in the code.
