Subject: [PATCH] lib/vsprintf.c: increase the size of the field_width variable
Date: Wed,  9 Sep 2015 12:13:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441793590-23856-1-git-send-email-mlombard@redhat.com> (raw)

When printing a bitmap using the "%*pb[l]" printk format
a 16 bit variable (field_width) is used to store the size of the bitmap.
In some cases 16 bits are not sufficient, the variable overflows and
printk does not work as expected.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the type of field_width to s32.

How to reproduce the bug:

1.load scsi_debug
# modprobe scsi-debug dev_size_mb=256 lbpu=1 lbpws10=1

2.create VG
# vgcreate tsvg /dev/sdb
  Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created
  Volume group "tsvg" successfully created

3. Bitmap should be set, but still empty
# cat /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/map

Expected results:
# cat /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/map
0-15
