I agree with Pavel, this patch which fixing buffer overflow bug should have been already included in kernel tree. And I think it really does not matter which from, to or cc lines are specified for singleline patch which was inspirated by static code checker. Rather to have fixed bug as talking who found it or who fixed it. -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com
