4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tony Luck tony.luck@intel.com
commit 985c78d3ff8e9c74450fa2bb08eb55e680d999ca upstream.
Each of the strings that we want to put into the buf[MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE] in flags_read() is two characters long. But the sprintf() adds a trailing newline and will add a terminating NUL byte. So MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE needs to be 4.
sprintf() calls vsnprintf() and *that* does return:
" * The return value is the number of characters which would * be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing * '\0', as per ISO C99."
Note the "excluding".
