Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix MCE's set_trigger() accessor
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 09:45:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A5F04B7020000780000AB59@vpn.id2.novell.com> (raw)
Impact: fix oops
Fix the condition checking the result of strchr() (which previously
could result in an oops), and make the function return the number of
bytes actively used.
