This function is only called from one place and it's like this: dlm_register_domain(conn->cc_name, dlm_key, &fs_version); The "conn->cc_name" is 64 characters long. If strlen(conn->cc_name) were equal to O2NM_MAX_NAME_LEN (64) that would be a bug because strlen() doesn't count the NULL character. In fact, if you look how O2NM_MAX_NAME_LEN is used, it mostly describes 64 character buffers. The only exception is nd_name from struct o2nm_node. Anyway I looked into it and in this case the domain string comes from osb->uuid_str in ocfs2_setup_osb_uuid(). That's 32 characters and NULL which easily fits into O2NM_MAX_NAME_LEN. This patch doesn't change how the code works, but I think it makes the code a little cleaner.
