Miquel Raynal cc4f0e168a of: Fix modalias string generation 
[ Upstream commit b19a4266c5 ]

The helper generating an OF based modalias (of_device_get_modalias())
works fine, but due to the use of snprintf() internally it needs a
buffer one byte longer than what should be needed just for the entire
string (excluding the '\0'). Most users of this helper are sysfs hooks
providing the modalias string to users. They all provide a PAGE_SIZE
buffer which is way above the number of bytes required to fit the
modalias string and hence do not suffer from this issue.

There is another user though, of_device_request_module(), which is only
called by drivers/usb/common/ulpi.c. This request module function is
faulty, but maybe because in most cases there is an alternative, ULPI
driver users have not noticed it.

In this function, of_device_get_modalias() is called twice. The first
time without buffer just to get the number of bytes required by the
modalias string (excluding the null byte), and a second time, after
buffer allocation, to fill the buffer. The allocation asks for an
additional byte, in order to store the trailing '\0'. However, the
buffer *length* provided to of_device_get_modalias() excludes this extra
byte. The internal use of snprintf() with a length that is exactly the
number of bytes to be written has the effect of using the last available
byte to store a '\0', which then smashes the last character of the
modalias string.

Provide the actual size of the buffer to of_device_get_modalias() to fix
this issue.

Note: the "str[size - 1] = '\0';" line is not really needed as snprintf
will anyway end the string with a null byte, but there is a possibility
that this function might be called on a struct device_node without
compatible, in this case snprintf() would not be executed. So we keep it
just to avoid possible unbounded strings.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
