The current (2.1.131) code is:
char * kdevname(kdev_t dev)
{
static char buffer[32];
sprintf(buffer, "%02x:%02x", MAJOR(dev), MINOR(dev));
return buffer;
}
But the maximum length of "%02x:%02x" is 6 bytes (including '\0').
We can throw in a couple of bytes "for good measure" and have
static char buffer[8] but why on earth do we declare it as [32]?
And, btw, kdevname() does not seem to be declared anywhere although
many things use it. Why not stick it in <linux/fs.h> ?
