[PATCH 4.18 078/135] Fix cg_read_strcmp()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 16 2018 - 13:13:52 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jay Kamat <jgkamat@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 48c2bb0b9cf863e0ed78e269f188ce65b73e0fd1 ]

Fix a couple issues with cg_read_strcmp(), to improve correctness of
cgroup tests
- Fix cg_read_strcmp() always returning 0 for empty "needle" strings.
Previously, this function read to a size = 1 buffer when comparing
against empty strings, which would lead to cg_read_strcmp() comparing
two empty strings.
- Fix a memory leak in cg_read_strcmp()

Fixes: 84092dbcf901 ("selftests: cgroup: add memory controller self-tests")
