[LTP] [PATCH v2] tst_kconfig: Avoid reporting buffer overflow when parsing /proc/cmdline

Li Wang liwang@redhat.com
Thu Jun 20 04:16:35 CEST 2024


When the test is run with a kernel booting with many parameters, the
buffer size is often not large enough to store the complete command
line. This results in a buffer overflow and the test complains with
the following message:

  tst_kconfig.c:609: TWARN: Buffer overflowed while parsing /proc/cmdline

Note:

Petr point out that these configs, which are generated by toolchain will
be longer than 128 chars someday, but I don't think that is the reason
we need raise our parsed buffer, since tst_kcmdline_parse() was just add
for popular parameter (which always pass by user and short). So far I
don't see any LTP test parse a longer parameters.

Fixes: 180834982 ("kconfig: add funtion to parse /proc/cmdline")
