Question about tmpfs
Hi,
I have a question regarding the function tmpfs_alloc_node() in
fs/tmpfs/tmpfs_subr.c. When alloc'ing the area for symlinks,
there's this code:
l.171
nnode->tn_size = strlen(target);
if (nnode->tn_size == 0) {
nnode->tn_spec.tn_lnk.tn_link = NULL;
break;
}
nnode->tn_spec.tn_lnk.tn_link =
tmpfs_strname_alloc(tmp, nnode->tn_size);
if (nnode->tn_spec.tn_lnk.tn_link == NULL) {
tmpfs_node_put(tmp, nnode);
return ENOSPC;
}
memcpy(nnode->tn_spec.tn_lnk.tn_link, target, nnode->tn_size);
Only strlen(target) bytes are allocated for 'target', and only
strlen(target) bytes are copied from 'target' to 'tn_link'.
Why isn't the '\0' taken into account? Is this intentional?
Thanks.
