Subject: [PATCH RESEND] scsi: cleanup: snprintf() always NUL-terminates: depend on it
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2015 20:20:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1420658416-20839-1-git-send-email-me@mortis.eu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1420394759-20345-1-git-send-email-me@mortis.eu>
Especially since one very strange piece of code seems to be written in
such a way that a NUL needs to be placed where a NUL is present already.
The author probably meant to fill the last byte of the buffer with a NUL
instead. But regardless of that: that isn't necessary since snprintf()
already guarantees NUL termination for buffers sizes > 0 and <= INT_MAX.
