[PATCH] kernfs: fix potential null-ptr-deref in kernfs_path_from_node_locked()
From: Zhen Lei
Date: Tue Nov 22 2022 - 21:06:02 EST
Ensure that the 'buf' is not empty before strlcpy() uses it.
Commit bbe70e4e4211 ("fs: kernfs: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences
in kernfs_path_from_node_locked()") first noticed this, but it didn't
fix it completely.
Fixes: 9f6df573a404 ("kernfs: Add API to generate relative kernfs path")
