Subject: [PATCH] net/ceph/osdmap.c: fix undefined behavior when using snprintf()
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 19:20:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358882429-19066-1-git-send-email-dinggnu@gmail.com> (raw)

The variable "str" is used as both the source and destination in function
snprintf(), which is undefined behavior based on C11. The original description
in C11 is:
	"If copying takes place between objects that
	overlap, the behavior is undefined."

And, the function of ceph_osdmap_state_str() is to return the osdmap state, so
it should return "doesn't exist" when all the conditions are not satisfied. I
fix it in this patch.

Based on C11, snprintf() does nothing if n==0:
	"If n is zero, nothing is written, and s may be a
	null pointer. Otherwise, output characters beyond
	the n-1st are discarded rather than being written to
	the array, and a null character is written at the
	end of the characters actually written into the
	array."
so I remove the unnecessary check of len (because it is not a busy path and
saves a few lines of code).
