Yes, that would be a good idea. Do we want to keep the existing checks
and just make sure we have at least enough to initialize the struct:

if (fd.entrylength > sizeof(rec) || fd.entrylength < 0 ||
    fd.entrylength < sizeof(rec.dir)) {
	res = -EIO;
	goto bail_hfs_find;
}

Or be even stricter and only accept the exact length:

if (fd.entrylength != sizeof(rec.dir)) {
	res = -EIO;
	goto bail_hfs_find;
}

Thanks for your feedback,
Leo
