Prevent setting zero over than bound
The &cmd will return a pointer which point to a pointer of cmdline. It is a memory address which is usually 8 bytes in 64 bits machine. However, the struct cmdline is 4 bytes. This will cause setting zero beyond the bound. Below is a simple example to show the differentiation: struct cmdline { char skip_initramfs; char slot[3]; }; static void parse_cmdline(struct cmdline *cmd) { printf("%lu\n", sizeof(*cmd)); /* 4 */ printf("%lu\n", sizeof(&cmd)); /* 8 */ } int main() { struct cmdline cmd; parse_cmdline(&cmd); return 0; } This patch prevents this.
