[Bug 540997] New: Kernel dump caused by ENCLOSURE module when I am trying to write 'status' attribute in sysfs.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540997 Summary: Kernel dump caused by ENCLOSURE module when I am trying to write 'status' attribute in sysfs. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: SLES 11 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: artur.wojcik@intel.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.172.37 Safari/530.5 When I am trying to change a status of enclosure's component (write to /sys/class/enclosure///status file) the Kernel dumps when the string is not what ENCLOSURE module expects to be written. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write 'ok' instead 'OK' to /sys/class/enclosure///status file. 2. 3. Actual Results: You should see Kernel starting to dump memory (without warning) and reboot. Expected Results: Software should return an error if the given status does not match. It looks like there's missing NULL at the end of 'enclosure_status[]' array in drivers/misc/enclosure.c file. I have added the NULL and ENCLOSURE module now behaves as I expected. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
