From aad50b1e06081de0e4ff25335ab6f52e58bfcef1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 23:41:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hostfs: Add a BUG_ON to detect behavior changes of dentry_path_raw() hostfs' __dentry_name() relies on the fact that dentry_path_raw() will place the path name at the end of the provided buffer. While this is okay, add a BUG_ON() to detect behavior changes as soon as possible.
