Subject: [PATCH] blktrace: fix a bug in blk_msg_write()
Date: Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:31:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49D5BB56.7000807@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

This is another long-standing bug.


================


 (console 1)
 # echo -n 'a' > /sys/kernel/debug/block/sda/msg
 (console 2)
 # blktrace -d /dev/sda -a pc -o - | blkparse -i -
  8,0    0        0     0.000000000     0  m   N a������@��

We should terminate the msg buffer with '\0'.
