3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rost...@goodmis.org> [ Upstream commit d777f8de99b05d399c0e4e51cdce016f26bd971b ] If a field is a dynamic string, get_field_str() returned just the offset/size value and not the string. Have it parse the offset/size correctly to return the actual string. Otherwise filtering fails when trying to filter fields that are dynamic strings.
