Subject: [PATCH] initramfs_test: exercise the oversized CPIO namesize guard
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 10:51:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027085138.4107590-2-thnkslprpt@gmail.com> (raw)
initramfs_test_fname_path_max() uses a directory with a nonzero body.
Such entries are skipped even without the namesize > PATH_MAX check,
so the test does not detect removal of that check.
Use a regular file and terminate the archived pathname early after
fill_cpio() has encoded the oversized namesize. This allows the test
to detect a missing parser check without relying on VFS pathname
length limits.
Fixes: aaf76839616a ("initramfs_test: kunit test for cpio.filesize > PATH_MAX")
