["Toralf Förster" <toralf.foerster@gmx.de>]

Dave,

can you pls answer to Richards question:

	So, we trigger "if (WARN_ON_ONCE(size > KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE))".
	Now I'm wondering what kind of argument string trinity gave to mount().
	How long is it?

Now I'm wondering what kind of argument string trinity gave to mount().
How long is it?

BTW: Toralf, why are you sending this to user-mode-linux-*user*@lists...?
We also have a -devel list. Please at least CC me.
Otherwise it is most likely that I miss such reports...
