Subject: [ 10/34] sysfs: sysfs_pathname/sysfs_add_one: Use strlcat() instead of strcat()
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:07:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121029200421.719233417@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121029200420.550338074@linuxfoundation.org>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

commit 66081a72517a131430dcf986775f3268aafcb546 upstream.

The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.

Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.
