Subject: [PATCH] uml: fix /proc/mounts parsing boundary condition
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c2b7a4bb30008dc256d63802e02b6fb950958443;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] uml: fix /proc/mounts parsing boundary condition

When parsing /proc/mounts looking for a tmpfs mount on /dev/shm, if a string
that we are looking for if split across reads, then it won't be recognized.

Fix this by refilling the buffer whenever we advance the cursor.
