Subject: [PATCH] lib/string_helpers.c: fix infinite loop in string_get_size()
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2015 14:56:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441371393-15030-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
string_get_size(1, 512, 0, ..., ...) call results in an infinite loop. The
problem is that if size == 0 when we start calculating sf_cap this loop
will never end.
The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was noticed
on Hyper-V.
