Subject: [ 8/8] SCSI: sd: Fix parsing of temporary  cache mode prefix
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:20:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130711221932.207762628@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130711221931.216612791@linuxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

commit 2ee3e26c673e75c05ef8b914f54fadee3d7b9c88 upstream.

Commit 39c60a0948cc '[SCSI] sd: fix array cache flushing bug causing
performance problems' added temp as a pointer to "temporary " and used
sizeof(temp) - 1 as its length.  But sizeof(temp) is the size of the
pointer, not the size of the string constant.  Change temp to a static
array so that sizeof() does what was intended.
