From 22800a2830ec07e7cc5c837999890ac47cc7f5de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kiszka Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 17:00:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix param_sysfs_builtin name length check Commit faf8c714f4508207a9c81cc94dafc76ed6680b44 caused a regression: parameter names longer than MAX_KBUILD_MODNAME will now be rejected, although we just need to keep the module name part that short. This patch restores the old behaviour while still avoiding that memchr is called with its length parameter larger than the total string length.
