>Description:
man 9 MALLOC reports the following:
...
MALLOC(space, cast, unsigned long size, struct malloc_type *type,
int flags)
...
But later in sample code:
MALLOC(buf, sizeof *buf, struct foo_buf *, M_FOOBUF, M_NOWAIT);
The sizeof *bug and struct foo_buf arguments are reversed.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
replace with:
MALLOC(bug, struct foo_buf *, sizeof *buf, M_FOOBAR, M_NOWAIT);
Thanks..
