Subject: [PATCH 13/13] powerpc/nvram: Handle partition names >= 12 chars
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 16:47:43 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291096063-14386-13-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1291096063-14386-1-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org>

From: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@us.ibm.com>

The name field in the nvram_header can be < 12 chars, null-terminated,
or 12 chars without the null.  Handle this safely.
