[PATCH v2] PCI/sysfs: off by two when checking the limit on driver_override length

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Jan 07 2015 - 15:56:32 EST


When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094 bytes
long the printing code would access invalid memory because we need count+1
bytes for printing.
