From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> As an identical match is wanted in this case, strcmp can be used instead. The semantic match that lead to detecting this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression foo; constant char *abc; @@ *strncmp(foo, abc, sizeof(abc)) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- fs/qnx4/inode.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/qnx4/inode.c b/fs/qnx4/inode.c index 449f5a6..150f4af 100644 --- a/fs/qnx4/inode.c +++ b/fs/qnx4/inode.c @@ -221,7 +221,8 @@ static const char *qnx4_checkroot(struct super_block *sb) rootdir = (struct qnx4_inode_entry *) (bh->b_data + i * QNX4_DIR_ENTRY_SIZE); if (rootdir->di_fname != NULL) { QNX4DEBUG((KERN_INFO "rootdir entry found : [%s]\n", rootdir->di_fname)); - if (!strncmp(rootdir->di_fname, QNX4_BMNAME, sizeof QNX4_BMNAME)) { + if (!strcmp(rootdir->di_fname, + QNX4_BMNAME)) { found = 1; qnx4_sb(sb)->BitMap = kmalloc( sizeof( struct qnx4_inode_entry ), GFP_KERNEL ); if (!qnx4_sb(sb)->BitMap) { -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
