[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 06/13] DRBD-receiver: Improve a size determination in receive_sizes()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2016 21:45:13 +0200

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
