Subject: [PATCH] printk: fix discarding message when recursion_bug
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:23:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <494BE687.2040700@ct.jp.nec.com> (raw)

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>

Impact: fix

When recursion_bug is true, kernel discards original message because printk_buf
contains recursion_bug_msg with NULL terminator. The sizeof(recursion_bug_msg)
makes this, use strlen() to get correct length without NULL terminator.
