[patch] cgroups: save space for the terminator
The original code didn't leave enough space for a NULL terminator. These strings are copied with strcpy() into fixed length buffers in cgroup_root_from_opts().

[patch] trace: strlen() return doesn't account for the NULL
We need to add one to the strlen() return because of the NULL character. The type->name here generally comes from the kernel and I don't think any of them come close to being MAX_TRACER_SIZE (100) characters long so this is basically a cleanup.

[patch] 9p: strlen() doesn't count the terminator
This is an off by one bug because strlen() doesn't count the NULL terminator. We strcpy() addr into a fixed length array of size UNIX_PATH_MAX later on. The addr variable is the name of the device being mounted. CC: stable(a)kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27(a)gmail.com> diff --git a/net/9p/tran... 10 Jul 2010 07:17

avoid NULL deference in ext2_xattr_get
Good catch. Your change is correct but can you resend it?
