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'.
