Subject: [PATCH] afs: Increase buffer size in afs_update_volume_status()

The max length of volume->vid value is 20 characters.
So increase idbuf[] size up to 20 to avoid overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Thanks for the patch.

The commit message says idbuf[] is being increased to 20 chars but the
patch only increases it to 19.

Should idbuf[] be 20 or should the commit message be altered?

Thanks for the patch.

The commit message says idbuf[] is being increased to 20 chars but the patch only increases it to 19.

Should idbuf[] be 20 or should the commit message be altered?
