-Subject: [PATCH] fix debug ioctl call
-
-When calling the ioctl to set a debug file, the ioctl expects to receive a datatype
-that is specified in the ioctl definition: char[PATHLEN_MAX]
-
-However when passing the pointer from getopts, this is only true if the passed path
-has the maximal allowed length. Since usually this path is shorter than the max,
-the kernel is trying to read over the end of the argument, and returns "EFAULT/Bad address".
-
-To solve this, copy the argument to a buffer that has the exact size of what the ioctl
-expects, and pass this buffer to the ioctl.
-
-Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/rpodgorny/unionfs-fuse/pull/164]
