From f4ad3d38d49dc0c4c911e31d8b884d5b74362b6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:57:00 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md: remove unnecessary 'buf' from get_bitmap_file. 'buf' is only used because d_path fills from the end of the buffer instead of from the start. We don't need a separate buf to handle that, we just need to use memmove() to move the string to the start.
