>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..
