[PATCH v2 2/2] name-hash: fix buffer overrun

From

Message-ID
<20170403151642.2889-3-git@jeffhostetler.com>

From: Kevin Willford <kewillf@microsoft.com>

Add check for the end of the entries for the thread partition. Add test for lazy init name hash with specific directory structure

The lazy init hash name was causing a buffer overflow when the last entry in the index was multiple folder deep with parent folders that did not have any files in them.

This adds a test for the boundary condition of the thread partitions with the folder structure that was triggering the buffer overflow. The test is skipped on single-cpu machines because the original code path is used in name-hash.c

The fix was to check if it is the last entry for the thread partition in the handle_range_dir and not try to use the next entry in the cache.
