Subject: [patch -next] ath5k: snprintf() returns largish values
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:52:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100722085202.GV17585@bicker> (raw)

snprintf() returns the number of characters that would have been written
(not counting the NUL character).  So we can't use it as the limiter to 
simple_read_from_buffer() without capping it first at sizeof(buf).
