Subject: hostfs: Add a BUG_ON to detect behavior changes of dentry_path_raw()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aad50b1e06081de0e4ff25335ab6f52e58bfcef1;p=linux-beck.git

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.
