[patch -resend] 9p: fix min_t() casting in p9pdu_vwritef()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Jun 27 2012 - 05:01:49 EST


I don't think we're actually likely to hit this limit but if we do
then the comparison should be done as size_t. The original code
is equivalent to:
len = strlen(sptr) % USHRT_MAX;

I was told this patch "has already made it upstream via the v9fs pull."
