3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joern Rennecke <joern.rennecke@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b0f55f2a1a295c364be012e82dbab079a2454006 upstream.
For a search buffer, 2 byte aligned, strchr() was returning pointer
outside of buffer (buf - 1)
------------->8----------------
// Input buffer (default 4 byte aigned)
char *buffer = "1AA_";
// actual search start (to mimick 2 byte alignment)
char *current_line = &(buffer[2]);
// Character to search for
char c = 'A';
char *c_pos = strchr(current_line, c);
printf("%s\n", c_pos) --> 'AA_' as oppose to 'A_'
