Subject: [PATCH] vfs: initialize d_iname to null for long file names
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:41:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081126134105.GA25795@localhost> (raw)

dentry->d_iname is currently uninitialized for long file names.  Init
it to null string to avoid bad behaviors on careless references to it.
