Subject: [PATCH net] ethtool: Null-terminate filename passed to ethtool_ops::flash_device
Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 19:32:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1328124745.2541.12.camel@bwh-desktop> (raw)

The parameters for ETHTOOL_FLASHDEV include a filename, which ought to
be null-terminated.  Currently the only driver that implements
ethtool_ops::flash_device attempts to add a null terminator if
necessary, but does it wrongly.  Do it in the ethtool core instead.

Compile-tested only.

Ben.
