[PATCH] scsi_devinfo: cleanly zero-pad devinfo strings

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

 



Cleanly fill memory for "vendor" and "model" with 0-bytes for
the "compatible" case rather than adding only a single 0 byte.
This simplifies the devinfo code a a bit, and avoids mistakes
in other places of the code (not in current upstream, but we
had one such mistake in the SUSE kernel).
