That's a DOS in the kernel waiting to happen.
- loeg 10y agoUserspace is responsible for constructing paths. Also, Hurd has some interesting views on what belongs in the kernel (and anything to do with paths probably doesn't). (I don't use or hack on Hurd, it's just an interesting example for PATH_MAX.)
- the_mitsuhiko 10y agoI will still need to pass thebpath to the kernel. If I ipen a 3GB filename'd file the kernel will have an issue.
- loeg 10y agoWhy do you think it would be a problem?
