From ef1f7a7e878e4ae37b3a78ebdeef9f911bae59df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernd Schmidt Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 09:55:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ROMFS: fix length used with romfs_dev_strnlen() function An interestingly corrupted romfs file system exposed a problem with the romfs_dev_strnlen function: it's passing the wrong value to its helpers. Rather than limit the string to the length passed in by the callers, it uses the size of the device as the limit.
