index: be careful when handling long names
We currently use lower 12-bit (masked with CE_NAMEMASK) in the ce_flags field to store the length of the name in cache_entry, without checking the length parameter given to create_ce_flags(). This can make us store incorrect length. Currently we are mostly protected by the fact that many codepaths first copy the path in a variable of size PATH_MAX, which typically is 4096 that happens to match the limit, but that feels like a bug waiting to happen. Besides, that would not allow us to shorten the width of CE_NAMEMASK to use the bits for new flags. This redefines the meaning of the name length stored in the cache_entry. A name that does not fit is represented by storing CE_NAMEMASK in the field, and the actual length needs to be computed by actually counting the bytes in the name[] field. This way, only the unusually long paths need to suffer. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
