I like how you have patch 3 use this code. It makes it easy to test, and valgrind pointed out that this is a bug. With a file that just contained: foo = "1" I ran this: $ valgrind -v --leak-check=full ./tools/bootconfig/bootconfig -a /tmp/boot-bad /tmp/initrd 2>/tmp/out Which gave me this: ==18929== Invalid read of size 1 ==18929== at 0x483FC02: strpbrk (vg_replace_strmem.c:1690) ==18929== by 0x40263C: xbc_init (bootconfig.c:724) ==18929== by 0x403162: apply_xbc (main.c:255) ==18929== by 0x403346: main (main.c:331) ==18929== Address 0x4a4e09f is 0 bytes after a block of size 15 alloc'd ==18929== at 0x483780B: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:309) ==18929== by 0x402B9D: load_xbc_fd (main.c:95) ==18929== by 0x402C87: load_xbc_file (main.c:120) ==18929== by 0x4030AC: apply_xbc (main.c:238) ==18929== by 0x403346: main (main.c:331) Which proves this the issue as when I apply the patch below, this goes away: -- Steve diff --git a/lib/bootconfig.c b/lib/bootconfig.c index 7a7cdc45bf62..0793ef9f48b8 100644 --- a/lib/bootconfig.c +++ b/lib/bootconfig.c @@ -468,7 +468,8 @@ static int __init __xbc_parse_value(char **__v, char **__n) c = *p; if (c && !strchr(",;\n#}", c)) return xbc_parse_error("No value delimiter", p); - p++; + if (*p) + p++; break; } if (strchr(",;\n#}", c)) {
