[PATCH 3.14 10/33] kernfs: fix off by one error.

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

 



3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 88391d49abb7d8dee91d405f96bd9e003cb6798d upstream.

The hash values 0 and 1 are reserved for magic directory entries, but
the code only prevents names hashing to 0. This patch fixes the test
to also prevent hash value 1.
