[PATCH] sched/fair: Null terminate buffer when updating tunable_scaling
From: Mel Gorman
Date: Mon Sep 27 2021 - 07:46:42 EST
This patch null-terminates the temporary buffer in sched_scaling_write()
so kstrtouint() does not return failure and checks the value is valid.
Before
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
1
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
1
After
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
1
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
0
$ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Fixes: 8a99b6833c88 ("sched: Move SCHED_DEBUG sysctl to debugfs")
