Are you sure this is valid to call this function with a variable on the
stack like this?  How did you test this change?
First, I did not do any changes to this call. Second, the programming
style to pass the pointer of stack variable as arguments is not really
good. Third, I check this same code file, there are many code snippets
with such programming style. :(
I know you did not change it, what I am asking is how did you test this
change works?  I think the kernel will warn you in huge ways that using
this pointer on the stack is incorrect, which implies you did not test
this change :(

thanks,
