From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jeff Mahoney Subject: [patch 07/35 error-handling] reiserfs: prepare_error_buf wrongly consumes va_arg Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:02:22 -0400 Message-ID: <20090330181010.178949983@suse.com> References: <20090330180215.951354436@suse.com> Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline; filename=patches.fixes/reiserfs-varargs-fix Sender: reiserfs-devel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Linux Kernel Mailing List Cc: Andrew Morton , Linus Torvalds , ReiserFS Development List vsprintf will consume varargs on its own. Skipping them manually results in garbage in the error buffer, or Oopses in the case of pointers. This patch removes the advancement and fixes a number of bugs where crashes were observed as side effects of a regular error report.
