From b365a85c68161ea5db5476eb8845a91ceb1777ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 10:41:05 +0200 Subject: x86, UV: Use allocated buffer in tlb_uv.c:tunables_read() The original code didn't check that the value returned from snprintf() was less than the size of the buffer. Although it didn't cause a runtime bug in this case, it makes the static checkers complain. Andrew Morton suggested a dynamically sized buffer would be cleaner.
