Subject: [RFC 7/8] eal: add check for sysfs path overflow
Date: Tue,  2 Dec 2025 09:24:33 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202172626.283094-8-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202172626.283094-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

It shouldn't happen but in theory sysfs socket could overflow.
Add a check for it.
