Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 09/17] ipr: Fix regression when loading firmware
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2016 19:07:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460484484-22395-10-git-send-email-luis.henriques@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1460484484-22395-1-git-send-email-luis.henriques@canonical.com>

3.16.7-ckt27 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 21b81716c6bff24cda52dc75588455f879ddbfe9 upstream.

Commit d63c7dd5bcb9 ("ipr: Fix out-of-bounds null overwrite") removed
the end of line handling when storing the update_fw sysfs attribute.
This changed the userpace API because it started refusing writes
terminated by a line feed, which broke the update tools we already have.

This patch re-adds that handling, so both a write terminated by a line
feed or not can make it through with the update.

Fixes: d63c7dd5bcb9 ("ipr: Fix out-of-bounds null overwrite")
