[patch] hfs: copying wrong data in hfs_readdir()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Sat Jun 23 2012 - 05:15:09 EST


Smatch complains that this is copying stack data when then intent was
to copy fd.key. The way I have written it matches how hfsplus_readdir()
is implemented.

I tried to test this, but to reach the memcpy() you would need to make
one of the calls to filldir() fail and I don't know how to do that. I
think that in the original code this would cause a crash when we call
hfs_find_exit()
