The name char array passed to btrfs_search_path_in_tree is of size
BTRFS_INO_LOOKUP_PATH_MAX (4080). So the actual accessible char indexes
are in the range of [0, 4079]. Currently the code uses the define but this
represents an off-by-one.
Implications:
Size of btrfs_ioctl_ino_lookup_args is 4096, so the new byte will be
written to extra space, not some padding that could be provided by the
allocator.
btrfs-progs store the arguments on stack, but kernel does own copy of
the ioctl buffer and the off-by-one overwrite does not affect userspace,
but the ending 0 might be lost.
Kernel ioctl buffer is allocated dynamically so we're overwriting
somebody else's memory, and the ioctl is privileged if args.objectid is
not 256. Which is in most cases, but resolving a subvolume stored in
another directory will trigger that path.
Before this patch the buffer was one byte larger, but then the -1 was
not added.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
