[PATCH 2/2] scsi: aacraid: Off by one NUL terminator

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We're putting a NUL terminator one character beyond the end of the
struct and that's obviously wrong.  On the other hand, I'm not positive
this is the correct fix.  This change was added deliberately and was
mentioned in the changlog of commit b836439faf04 ("aacraid: 4KB sector
support").  The relevant section is "Also fix up a name truncation
problem".  Can someone review this code and figure out the right thing
to do?
