[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] net: tap: restrict bridge name to IFNAMSIZ

[P J P]

From: Prasad J Pandit <address@hidden>

The interface name in Linux interface request struct 'ifreq'
OR in qemu-bridge-helper is defined to be of size IFNAMSIZ(=16),
including the terminating null('\0') byte.

QEMU tap device, while invoking qemu-bridge-helper, supplies bridge
name of 16 characters, restrict it to IFNAMESIZ-1 to accommodate
terminating null('\0') byte.
