Commit Message

The code that has been added to strip trailing slashes from path in
unexportfs_parsed() forgot to account for the case of the root
directory, which is simply '/'. In that case it accesses path[-1] and
reduces the path to an empty string, which then fails to match any
export.

Fix it by stopping the stripping when the path is just a single
character - it doesn't matter if it's a '/' or not, we want to keep it
either way in that case.

Reproducer:

    exportfs localhost:/
    exportfs -u localhost:/

Without this patch, the unexport step fails with "exportfs: Could not
find 'localhost:/' to unexport."

Fixes: a9a7728d8743 ("exportfs: Deal with path's trailing "/" in unexportfs_parsed()")

Makes sense to me.

(Note nfs-exporting / is often a bad idea.  I assume you had some good
reason in this case.)

I hit it in a test, so if the only issue is that it exposes more than
necessary, then I guess it's fine in this case :)

Yes, in a lot of typical setups, exporting "/" would expose files to the
network that you don't really want to.

But, anyway, it should work.  Looks like a good fix.
