From a4b3ada83d06554d307dd54abdc62b2e5648264a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Henrik Lunde Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 14:27:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] blktrace: NUL-terminate user space messages Impact: fix corrupted blkparse output Make sure messages from user space are NUL-terminated strings, otherwise we could dump random memory to the block trace file. Additionally, I've limited the message to BLK_TN_MAX_MSG-1 characters, because the last character would be stripped by vscnprintf anyway.
