From: Eric Biggers Subject: [PATCH] ext4: do not unnecessarily null-terminate encrypted symlink data Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:31:47 -0700 Message-ID: <1474576309-86917-1-git-send-email-ebiggers@google.com> Cc: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, linux-f2fs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, tytso@mit.edu, jaegeuk@kernel.org, Eric Biggers To: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-ext4.vger.kernel.org Null-terminating the fscrypt_symlink_data on read is unnecessary because it is not string data --- it contains binary ciphertext.
