Subject: [patch] hfs: copying wrong data in hfs_readdir()
Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2012 12:14:46 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120623091446.GA26923@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Smatch complains that this is copying stack data when then intent was
to copy fd.key. The way I have written it matches how hfsplus_readdir()
is implemented.

I tried to test this, but to reach the memcpy() you would need to make
one of the calls to filldir() fail and I don't know how to do that. I
think that in the original code this would cause a crash when we call
hfs_find_exit()
