[PATCH v6 3/9] test: avoid overflowing huge directory path

Stephen Hemminger stephen at networkplumber.org
Sun Nov 23 18:43:26 CET 2025


Modify the part of the test that is scanning for hugepages
mount point to use existing getmntent library calls.

As a result, the maximum mount path is smaller which is ok
since this is all handled by the standard library.
And the resulting huge path arguments don't overflow.
