Subject: [RFC 6/8] efd: avoid overflowing ring name
Date: Tue,  2 Dec 2025 09:24:32 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202172626.283094-7-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202172626.283094-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

The efd library allowed table name to be longer than would be
safe when prefix was added for a ring name.
