Re: [U-Boot-Users] memset bug in ext2fs_read_file()

Dear Mike,

in message fkd2di$pdl$1@ger.gmane.org you wrote:

The ext2fs_read_file() function in fs/ext2/ext2fs.c contains the following line:

439 memset (buf, blocksize - skipfirst, 0);

This is incorrect as the prototype of the function has the fill value as the 2nd parameter and the number of bytes as the 3rd:

void *memset(void *b, int c, size_t n);

I don't have any test code that is affected by this bug. I noticed it when I was investigating a different problem (with OpenMoko).

Thanks, applied.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
