[PATCH v1 1/1] fs/proc/array.c: set overflow flag in case of error

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Fri Sep 18 2015 - 04:28:16 EST


For now in task_name() we ignore the return code of string_escape_str() call.
This is not good if buffer suddenly becomes not big enough. Do the proper error
handling there.
