The length parameter should be sizeof(req->name) - 1 because there is no guarantee that string provided by userspace will contain the trailing '\0'. Can be easily reproduced by manually setting req->name to 128 non-zero bytes prior to ioctl(HIDPCONNADD) and checking the device name setup on input subsystem: $ cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00\:04/tty/ttyS0/hci0/hci0\:1/input8/name AAAAAA[...]AAAAAAAAf0:af:f0:af:f0:af ("f0:af:f0:af:f0:af" is the device bluetooth address, taken from "phys" field in struct hid_device due to overflow.)
