This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ata: sata_mv: Fix incorrect string length computation in mv_dump_mem() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ata-sata_mv-fix-incorrect-string-length-computation-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c195b265f98d6d766ff58bf0dd5c793de14edd89 Author: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 4 21:54:36 2023 +0200 ata: sata_mv: Fix incorrect string length computation in mv_dump_mem() [ Upstream commit e97eb65dd464e7f118a16a26337322d07eb653e2 ] snprintf() returns the "number of characters which *would* be generated for the given input", not the size *really* generated. In order to avoid too large values for 'o' (and potential negative values for "sizeof(linebuf) o") use scnprintf() instead of snprintf(). Note that given the "w < 4" in the for loop, the buffer can NOT overflow, but using the *right* function is always better.
