Maybe that deserves a comment. That is not new code; it is just reindented from the original safe_read. But is it noisy about a missing pipe? We do not get EPIPE for reading. We should just get a short read or EOF, both of which is handled later. > > + len = packet_read_from_buf(line, sizeof(line), &last->buf, &last->len); > > + if (len && line[len - 1] == '\n') > > + len--; > > Was anything guaranteeing that buffer.len < 1000 before this change? No. That's discussed in point (3) of the "implications" in the commit message. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
