From faf8c714f4508207a9c81cc94dafc76ed6680b44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Young Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 03:05:07 -0700 Subject: param_sysfs_builtin memchr argument fix If memchr argument is longer than strlen(kp->name), there will be some weird result. It will casuse duplicate filenames in sysfs for the "nousb". kernel warning messages are as bellow: sysfs: duplicate filename 'usbcore' can not be created WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:416 sysfs_add_one() [] sysfs_add_one+0xa0/0xe0 [] create_dir+0x48/0xb0 [] sysfs_create_dir+0x29/0x50 [] create_dir+0x1b/0x50 [] kobject_add+0x46/0x150 [] kobject_init+0x3a/0x80 [] kernel_param_sysfs_setup+0x50/0xb0 [] param_sysfs_builtin+0xee/0x130 [] param_sysfs_init+0x23/0x60 [] __next_cpu+0x12/0x20 [] kernel_init+0x0/0xb0 [] kernel_init+0x0/0xb0 [] do_initcalls+0x46/0x1e0 [] create_proc_entry+0x52/0x90 [] register_irq_proc+0x9c/0xc0 [] proc_mkdir_mode+0x34/0x50 [] kernel_init+0x0/0xb0 [] kernel_init+0x62/0xb0 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x14 ======================= kobject_add failed for usbcore with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
