[Cluster-devel] [PATCHv3 dlm/next 20/20] fs: dlm: check for invalid namelen

[Alexander Aring]

This patch adds an additional check inside the dlm locking from user space
functionality that the namelen isn't above the maximum allowed dlm
resource name length. If the namelen is above the maximum allowed we
have a invalid state and out of buffer access can occur. Cut off the
namelen attribute to maximum size is not an option because we might run
into name conflicts and the user should be get aware of that.
