Subject: i40e/virtchnl: fix application of sizeof to pointer
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c30bf8cecebabb119aa1fbb17de84f924a8ab8f7;p=linux.git

i40e/virtchnl: fix application of sizeof to pointer

sizeof when applied to a pointer typed expression gives the size of
the pointer.

The proper fix in this particular case is to code sizeof(*vfres)
instead of sizeof(vfres).

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
