strlen() applied to uninitialized array => undefined behaviour.

Can't work. ch[]'s content is undefined, so strlen(ch) may read anywhere
in memory, and/or memset() write anywhere.

Strange since we've spent years changing error
I have small code
#include

int main()
{
float f= 1256.35;
char ch[4];
printf("\n1. f : %f",f);
memset(ch,'\0',strlen(ch) );
printf("\n2. f : %f",f);

}
Expected output is

But I am getting the output

Hello,
Please use CONFIG_SLUB and turn on SLUB debugging. Something is very wrong

I did so, on 2.6.23-rc8. I also did include CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER and
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT, following Cornelia Huck's advice.

[PATCH 01/02]
This is a patch that fixes the way idr_find() used to be called in ipc_lock():
in all the paths that don't imply an update of the ipcs idr, it was called
without the idr tree being locked.
The changes are:
. in ipc_ids, the mutex has been changed into a reader/writer semaphore.

Davide,
Below is the current signalfd man-page. Could you please review to see
whether the man page describes the intended implementation, and especially
look at a few questions embedded in the page (look for "Davide").
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Davide,
(We started discussing this quite a while back, and you then seemed
positively disposed to my idea below, but then holidays intervened, so I'm
resending this slightly revised version of my earlier mail.)
The signalfd_siginfo structure is defined as:

Is this a regression or does it happen with 2.6.22 too?

Hi Davide,
I've slightly tweaked the eventfd.2 man page in preparation for adding it
to the man-pages set. Could you please review the text below, and confirm
that it correctly describes intended behavior.
Thanks,

Thanks to Peter and Jordan for taking the interest and time to track

Being occupied by non-linux stuff lately but will review your patches soon.
non-linux stuff includes too little sleep because my baby girl having
yet another new teeth and it hurst...
I hope to go over it during the weekend so Ican include it in next merge window.

Compiling handle_percpu_irq only on uniprocessor generates an artificial
special case so a typical use like:
set_irq_chip_and_handler(irq, _irq_type, handle_percpu_irq);
needs to be conditionally compiled only on SMP systems as well and an
alternative UP construct is usually needed - for no

I get about 94-95 Mbits/sec and CPU drops from 99% to about 82% (this
is with a 600 MHz ARM CPU).
