Presumably there should be a PATH_MAX maximum check added
to the strlen(name) in get_fs_type.

fs/filesystems.c:271

struct file_system_type *get_fs_type(const char *name)
{
        struct file_system_type *fs;
        const char *dot = strchr(name, '.');
        int len = dot ? dot - name : strlen(name);

        fs = __get_fs_type(name, len);
        if (!fs && (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0))
                fs = __get_fs_type(name, len);
