Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging/lustre/llite: fix ll_getname user buffer copy
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 00:41:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433911283-24902-3-git-send-email-green@linuxhacker.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1433911283-24902-1-git-send-email-green@linuxhacker.ru>

From: Oleg Drokin <green@linuxhacker.ru>

strncpy_from_user could return negative values on error,
so need to take those into account.
Since ll_getname is used to get a single component name from userspace
to transfer to server as-is, there's no need to allocate 4k buffer
as done by __getname. Allocate NAME_MAX+1 buffer instead to ensure
we have enough for a null terminated max valid length buffer.

This was discovered by Al Viro in https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/11/243
