Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.35.4: Fixed simple warning (array subscript is above array bounds)
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 02:10:26 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <388312.90213.qm@web45811.mail.sp1.yahoo.com> (raw)

From: Ionut Gabriel Popescu <poyo_vl@yahoo.com>

When I tried to compile, I got the following warning:
fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_block.c: In function ‘xfs_dir2_sf_to_block’:
fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_block.c:1153:26: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
The code (fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_block.c line 1153) is:
dep->name[0] = dep->name[1] = '.';
dep is a pointer to a xfs_dir2_data_entry_t structure where name is defined as:
__u8            name[1];    /* name bytes, no null */
So it is a single element array, name[0] not also name[1] so I got that warning.
Patching is a simple replacement of 1 with 2.
