Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: add sanity check to make sure we never shift 64 bits right
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:06:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359382009-28651-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)

In the tables which are used to parse the fields for the set_fields
command, there should never be a entry which has a size set to 8
bytes, and two pointers defined.  Not only would it result in
undefined behavior in the compiled code, it doesn't make any sense and
is definitely a bug.
