Subject: [PATCH] name_count array overrun
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2006 14:00:06 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200609071400.06853.sgrubb@redhat.com> (raw)

Hello,

The below patch closes an unbounded use of name_count. This can lead to oopses
in some new file systems.

Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com>
