[PATCH 4/4] ext4: add sanity checking to count_overhead()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The commit "ext4: sanity check the block and cluster size at mount
time" should prevent any problems, but in case the superblock is
modified while the file system is mounted, add an extra safety check
to make sure we won't overrun the allocated buffer.
