fs: Don't dereference a pointer to a too-small allocation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
ptr::addr_of!((*ptr).field) still requires ptr to point to an
appropriate allocation for its type.  Since the pointer returned by
readdir() can be smaller than sizeof(struct dirent), we need to entirely
avoid dereferencing it as that type.
