Subject: [PATCH] psi: put NULL char correctly in psi_write()
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2019 18:34:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190912103452.13281-1-miles.chen@mediatek.com> (raw)
When passing a equal or more then 32 bytes long string to psi_write(),
psi_write() copies 31 bytes to its buf and overwrites buf[30]
with '\0'. Which makes the input string 1 byte shorter than
it should be.
Fix it by copying sizeof(buf) bytes when nbytes >= sizeof(buf).
This does not cause problems in normal use case like:
"some 500000 10000000" or "full 500000 10000000" because they
are less than 32 bytes in length.
/* assuming nbytes == 35 */
char buf[32];
buf_size = min(nbytes, (sizeof(buf) - 1)); /* buf_size = 31 */
if (copy_from_user(buf, user_buf, buf_size))
return -EFAULT;
buf[buf_size - 1] = '\0'; /* buf[30] = '\0' */
Before:
%cd /proc/pressure/
%echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory
[ 22.473497] nbytes=35,buf_size=31
[ 22.473775] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars)
