[PATCH] ext4: Fix a test in ext4_decode_error()

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

 



The doc of snprintf() states that "If the return is greater than or equal
to @size, the resulting string is truncated".

So in order to "Check for truncated error codes...", we must check that the
returned value is < 16.
