3.8.13.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5676005acf26ab7e924a8438ea4746e47d405762 upstream.
need set '\0' for 'local_buffer'.
SPLPAR_MAXLENGTH is 1026, RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE is 4096. so the contents of
rtas_data_buf may truncated in memcpy.
if contents are really truncated.
the splpar_strlen is more than 1026. the next while loop checking will
not find the end of buffer. that will cause memory access violation.
