From e5cff482c78a35b9f149a06aa777a1bd693864fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 16:56:47 -0400 Subject: SUNRPC: Use unsigned string lengths in xdr_decode_string_inplace XDR strings, opaques, and net objects should all use unsigned lengths. To wit, RFC 4506 says: 4.2. Unsigned Integer An XDR unsigned integer is a 32-bit datum that encodes a non-negative integer in the range [0,4294967295]. ... 4.11. String The standard defines a string of n (numbered 0 through n-1) ASCII bytes to be the number n encoded as an unsigned integer (as described above), and followed by the n bytes of the string. After this patch, xdr_decode_string_inplace now matches the other XDR string and array helpers that take a string length argument. See: xdr_encode_opaque_fixed, xdr_encode_opaque, xdr_encode_array Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Acked-By: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: J.
