From 361916a943cd9dbda1c0b00879d0225cc919d868 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dean Nelson Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 15:12:24 -0800 Subject: sgi-xp: fix writing past the end of kzalloc()'d space A missing type cast results in writing way beyond the end of a kzalloc()'d memory segment resulting in slab corruption. But it seems like the better solution is to define ->recv_msg_slots as a 'void *' rather than a 'struct xpc_notify_mq_msg_uv *' and add the type cast.
