Subject: [PATCH 4.4 02/40] samples, bpf: fix to change the buffer size for read()
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 12:01:58 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190718030040.246578146@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190718030039.676518610@linuxfoundation.org>

[ Upstream commit f7c2d64bac1be2ff32f8e4f500c6e5429c1003e0 ]

If the trace for read is larger than 4096, the return
value sz will be 4096. This results in off-by-one error
on buf:

    static char buf[4096];
    ssize_t sz;

    sz = read(trace_fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
    if (sz > 0) {
        buf[sz] = 0;
        puts(buf);
    }
