Bottomley; Martin K. Petersen Cc: MPT-FusionLinux.pdl@xxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; kernel-team@xxxxxx; Calvin Owens Subject: [PATCH] mpt3sas: Ensure the connector_name string is NUL-terminated We blindly trust the hardware to give us NUL-terminated strings, which is a bad idea because it doesn't always do that. For example: [ 481.184784] mpt3sas_cm0: enclosure level(0x0000), connector name( \x3) In this case, connector_name is four spaces. We got lucky here because the 2nd byte beyond our character array happens to be a NUL. Fix this by explicitly writing '\0' to the end of the string to ensure we don't run off the edge of the world in printk().
