[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/5] sandbox/fs: Use correct size path name buffer

Stefan Brüns stefan.bruens at rwth-aachen.de
Sat Oct 1 20:41:40 CEST 2016


The readdir linux manpage explicitly states (quoting POSIX.1) that
sizeof(d_name) is not correct for determining the required size, but to
always use strlen. Grow the buffer if needed.
