[PATCH] bfs filesystem read past the end of dir
From: Jakub Jermar <jermar@itbs.cz> I found out that BFS filesystem will eventually try to read and interpret garbage past the end of directory in bfs_add_entry(). If the garbage (interpreted as i-node number) is not set to zero (does it have to be?) bfs_add_entry() will consider it a regular directory entry. This causes weird things like this: # touch a # rm a # ls # touch b # ls a My patch detects an attempt to read past the end of directory and explicitly clears the garbage that represents i-node number. Thus the correct behaviour is achieved. (was unable to contact Tigran)
