ROMFS: romfs_lookup() shouldn't be doing a partial name comparison
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
romfs_lookup() should be using a routine akin to strcmp() on the backing store,
rather than one akin to strncmp().  If it uses the latter, it's liable to match
/bin/shutdown when looking up /bin/sh.
