Subject: [PATCH 2.6.12-rc1-mm2] relayfs: properly handle oversized events
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 16:00:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16963.14487.752842.849000@tut.ibm.com> (raw)
This patch fails writes larger than the sub-buffer size and prints a
warning and stack trace when it happens. I chose this over BUG_ON()
or silently failing since while it could probably be considered a bug
for an application to let this happen, it's not fatal and the user
would probably want to know (and change buffer sizes).
Andrew, please apply.
Thanks,
Tom
