There are instances in the code where sizeof(*ptr) is used. e.g.<div>in net/802/garp.c</div><div>          const struct garp_msg_hdr *gm;<div>          if (!pskb_may_pull(skb, sizeof(*gm)))</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">		</span> return -1;</div>
i want to ask is there any sense in using sizeof(struct garp_msg_hdr) instead of sizeof(*gm) in the above example.</div><div><div><br></div>Thanks</div><div>--<br><div>Sukrit Sangwan</div>
