From b6fe17d6cc5d570b72f8e4da351b593c5a680355 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 17:06:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NET] netdev: Check name length Some improvements to robust name interface. These API's are safe now by convention, but it is worth providing some safety checks against future bugs. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
