Subject: fs: fix name overwrite in __register_chrdev_region()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8c4018884a49eb2c6c7ca90804f331b12983561c;p=linux-beck.git

fs: fix name overwrite in __register_chrdev_region()

It's possible to register a chrdev with a name size exactly the same as
was allocated in structure.  It seems it was not intended behaviour.

At least chrdev_show does not like it.
