2005-09-22[PATCH] v9fs: replace strlen on newly allocated by __getname buffers to PATH_MAXLatchesar Ionkov
v9fs_vfs_readlink allocates space for the link using __getname and errorneously uses strlen on the newly allocated buffer to check if the buffer passed by the user is bigger than the one returned by __getname. The patch replaces the strlen usage to PATH_MAX, which is the actual size of the buffers returned by __getname.

2005-09-09[PATCH] v9fs: readlink extended mode checkEric Van Hensbergen
LANL reported some issues with random crashes during mount of legacy protocol servers (9P2000 versus 9P2000.u) -- crash was always happening in readlink (which should never happen in legacy mode). Added some sanity conditionals to the get_inode code which should prevent the errors LANL was seeing. Code tested benign through regression.
