From 934eed395d201bf0901ca0c0cc3703b18729d0ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joern Engel Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2011 22:29:01 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] logfs: Prevent memory corruption This is a bad one. I wonder whether we were so far protected by no_free_segments(sb) usually being smaller than LOGFS_NO_AREAS. Found by Dan Carpenter using smatch.
