    [PATCH] fb: sm501fb off-by-1 sysfs store · 1f2b69f9
    Paul Mundt 提交于
    Currently sm501fb_crtsrc_store() won't allow the routing to be changed via
    echos from userspace in to the sysfs file.  The reason for this is that the
    strnicmp() for both heads uses a sizeof() for the string length, which ends
    up being strlen() + 1 (\0 in the normal case, but the echo gives a newline,
    which is where the issue occurs), this then causes a mismatch and
    subsequently bails with the -EINVAL.
    
    In addition to this, the hardcoded lengths were then used for the store
    length that was returned, which ended up being erroneous and resulting in a
    write error.  There's also no point in returning anything but the full
    length since it will -EINVAL out on a mismatch well before then anyways.
    
    sizeof("string") is great for making sure you have space in your buffer,
    but rather less so for string comparisons :-)
