Subject: Fix misuses of bdevname()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc3~78
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f36f21ecca9ee688301174e5f2e0827827a7a7ff;p=linux-2.6

Fix misuses of bdevname()

bdevname() fills the buffer that it is given as a parameter, so calling
strcpy() or snprintf() on the returned value is redundant (and probably not
guaranteed to work - I don't think strcpy and snprintf support overlapping
buffers.)
