Commit efda1b5d87cb ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling") Introduced additional hardening for ambiguity in the ACPI spec for ars_status output sizing. However, it had a couple of cases mixed up. Where it should have been checking for (and returning) "out_field[1] - 4" it was using "out_field[1] - 8" and vice versa.
This caused a four byte discrepancy in the buffer size passed on to the command handler, and in some cases, this caused memory corruption like:
./daxdev-errors.sh: line 76: 24104 Aborted (core dumped) ./daxdev-errors $busdev $region malloc(): memory corruption Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Thanks Vishal, looks good!
