[PATCH 3.16 078/129] fs/nfs: Fix nfs_parse_devname to not modify it's argument

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

 



3.16.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 40cc394be1aa18848b8757e03bd8ed23281f572e upstream.

In the rare and unsupported case of a hostname list nfs_parse_devname
will modify dev_name.  There is no need to modify dev_name as the all
that is being computed is the length of the hostname, so the computed
length can just be shorted.
