From: Yi Zhang yi.zhang@redhat.com Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2020 23:36:46 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/rxe: Fix the parent sysfs read when the interface has 15 chars
'parent' sysfs reads will yield '\0' bytes when the interface name has 15 chars, and there will no "\n" output.
To reproduce, create one interface with 15 chars:
[root@test ~]# ip a s enp0s29u1u7u3c2 2: enp0s29u1u7u3c2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 02:21:28:57:47:17 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::ac41:338f:5bcd:c222/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [root@test ~]# modprobe rdma_rxe [root@test ~]# echo enp0s29u1u7u3c2 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add [root@test ~]# cat /sys/class/infiniband/rxe0/parent enp0s29u1u7u3c2[root@test ~]# [root@test ~]# f="/sys/class/infiniband/rxe0/parent" [root@test ~]# echo "$(<"$f")" -bash: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input enp0s29u1u7u3c2
Use scnprintf and PAGE_SIZE to fill the sysfs output buffer.
