match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer. There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.
