[PATCH] qnx4: fix to avoid panic due to buffer overflow

From: Ronald Monthero
Date: Sun Nov 12 2023 - 04:54:51 EST


qnx4 dir name length can vary to be of maximum size
QNX4_NAME_MAX or QNX4_SHORT_NAME_MAX depending on whether
'link info' entry is stored and the status byte is set.
So to avoid buffer overflow check di_fname length
fetched from (struct qnx4_inode_entry *)
before use in strlen to avoid buffer overflow.
