This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: tools/mm/slabinfo: fix access to null terminator in string boundary
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2025 22:50:22 +0530

The current code incorrectly accesses buffer[strlen(buffer)], which points
to the null terminator ('\0') at the end of the string.  This is
technically out-of-bounds access since valid string content ends at index
strlen(buffer)-1.

Fix by:
1. Declaring strlen() result variable at function scope
2. Adding bounds check (len > 0) to handle empty strings
3. Using buffer[len-1] to correctly access the last character before
   the null terminator
