[patch resend] hfs: fix fix hfs_readdir()

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

 



I was looking through static analysis warnings and there is a bug here
that goes all the way back to the start of git.  Basically we're copying
the pointer and nearby garbage instead of the data the fd.key pointer is
pointing to.

I sent this a year ago, and we had a thread about it, but in the end
decided that the original patch was correct.  Not tested.
