If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicolai Stange commit bf563b01c2895a4bfd1a29cc5abc67fe706ecffd upstream. When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094 bytes long, the printing code would access invalid memory because we need count+1 bytes for printing. Reject driver_override values of these lengths in driver_override_store(). This is in close analogy to commit 4efe874aace5 ("PCI: Don't read past the end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer") from Sasha Levin.
