[PATCH v2] zram: fix pool name truncation

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Tue Aug 11 2015 - 11:44:38 EST


zram_meta_alloc() constructs a pool name for zs_create_pool() call
as
snprintf(pool_name, sizeof(pool_name), "zram%d", device_id);

However, it defines pool name buffer to be only 8 chars long
(minus trailing zero), which means that we can have only 1000
pool names: zram0 -- zram999.

With CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT enabled an attempt to create a device
zram1000 can fail if device zram100 already exists, because
snprintf() will truncate new pool name to zram100 and pass it
to debugfs_create_dir(), causing:

debugfs dir <zram100> creation failed
zram: Error creating memory pool

... and so on (zram101 - zram1010, etc).

Fix it by increasing pool_name buffer size to 15:
-- zram prefix (length 4)
-- int device_id can use up to 10 chars
-- terminating zero byte
