Hello all: sorry, after checking the details: I think this patch is incorrect. we can not assume that the parameter "char *buf" is terminated by '\0' so we should only use strlcpy instead of strncpy, without touching 'min(...' since it is already integrated into main branch (at least, in next-20130118). I should send additional patch to fix it. please help to check, thanks. gchen. 于 2013年01月07日 12:42, Chen Gang 写道: > > The fields must be null-terminated, or simple_strtoul will cause issue. > > Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/3945-mac.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/3945-mac.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/3945-mac.c > index d604b40..3726cd6 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/3945-mac.c > +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/3945-mac.c > @@ -3273,7 +3273,7 @@ il3945_store_measurement(struct device *d, struct device_attribute *attr, > > if (count) { > char *p = buffer; > - strncpy(buffer, buf, min(sizeof(buffer), count)); > + strlcpy(buffer, buf, sizeof(buffer)); > channel = simple_strtoul(p, NULL, 0); > if (channel) > params.channel = channel; > -- Chen Gang Asianux Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
