3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> commit b1d0a5d0cba4597c0394997b2d5fced3e3841b4e upstream. recent and hashlimit both create /proc files, but only check that name is 0 terminated. This can trigger WARN() from procfs when name is "" or "/". Add helper for this and then use it for both.
