Subject: [PATCH] maple_tree: Use correct variable type in sizeof

The original code is:
memset(pivs + tmp, 0, sizeof(unsigned long *) * (max_p - tmp));

The type of variable pointed to by pivs is unsigned long, but the type
used in sizeof is a pointer type. Change it to unsigned long.

Maybe add a fix tag?

Fixes: 54a611b60590 ("Maple Tree: add new data structure")

Maybe sizeof(void *) is equal to sizeof(unsigned long)
in most architectures, so I don't know if it counts as a fix.

Thanks.

Please don't quote the code for these changes.

Cc stable, fixes line is probably needed here.

This is actually required inside the Linux kernel. The only programming
model I know where sizeof(void *) != sizeof(unsigned long) is Windows
64-bit userspace.

Might be worth adding; "Fortunately the sizes are the same."

sizeof (*pivs)

and sizeof (*slots)
