[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] ext4: Fix handling of direntlen in unlink_filename

Stefan Brüns stefan.bruens at rwth-aachen.de
Sun Oct 9 20:15:27 CEST 2016


The direntlen checks were quite bogus, i.e. the loop termination used
"len + offset == blocksize" (exact match only), and checked for a
direntlen less than 0. The latter can never happen as the len is
unsigned, this has been reported by Coverity, CID 153384.

Use the same code as in search_dir for directory traversal. This code
has the correct checks for direntlen >= sizeof(struct dirent), and
offset < blocksize.
