[PATCH 1/2] hugetlbfs: Improve a size determination in two functions

[Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@web.de>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2023 11:32:07 +0100

Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator “sizeof” to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
