Hi,
plus = fuse_use_readdirplus(inode, ctx);
ap->args.out_pages = true;
- ap->num_pages = 1;
+ ap->num_pages = READDIR_PAGES;
No. This is the array lenght, which is 1. This is the hack I guess,
which makes the above trick work.
Hmm, ap->num_pages / ap->pages[] is used in fuse_copy_pages, but so is
ap->descs[] - shouldn't the patch caused an out-of-bound access?
Out of interest, would you mind to explain how the hack worked?
Apparently it shouldn't ... my understanding of how pages* worked was
all wrong.
I'm guessing since all the data fits in the first page (ap->pages[0] in
other words, of length/size desc.length) that the other pages are never
accessed. Looking at fuse_copy_pages this does indeed seem to be the
case. So I ended up just being really, really lucky here.
Kind regards,
Jaco
