Subject: [rtla 11/13] rtla: Replace magic number with MAX_PATH
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:41:18 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117184409.42831-12-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117184409.42831-1-wander@redhat.com>
The trace functions use a buffer to manipulate strings that will be
written to tracefs files. These buffers are defined with a magic number
of 1024, which is a common source of vulnerabilities.
Replace the magic number 1024 with the MAX_PATH macro to make the code
safer and more readable. While at it, replace other instances of the
magic number with ARRAY_SIZE() when the buffer is locally defined.
