From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> The protofile parser in mkfs does not check directory entry names when populating the filesystem. The libxfs directory code doesn't check them either, since they depend on the Linux VFS to sanitize incoming names. If someone puts a slash in the first (name) column in the protofile, this results in a successful format and xfs_repair -n immediately complains. Screen the names that are being read from the protofile. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
