Thanks for the review.
I agree that freevxfs has extremely limited usage. My rationale was that the
filesystem remains buildable in mainline and a malformed image causes a
deterministic unbounded loop during mount. The fix is small and ensures that
the on-disk record walk always makes progress.
If you think freevxfs should no longer receive this kind of hardening, I will
not pursue the patch further. Otherwise, I can send a v2 with the line wrapped.
Thanks,
Sangho
