From: Florian Westphal Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 12:27:39 +0000 (+0200) Subject: RDMA/core: Prefer NLA_NUL_STRING X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6ed3d14fc45d3da6025e7fe4a6a09066856698e2;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git RDMA/core: Prefer NLA_NUL_STRING These attributes are evaluated as c-string (passed to strcmp), but NLA_STRING doesn't check for the presence of a \0 terminator. Either this needs to switch to nla_strcmp() and needs to adjust printf fmt specifier to not use plain %s, or this needs to use NLA_NUL_STRING. As the code has been this way for long time, it seems to me that userspace does include the terminating nul, even tough its not enforced so far, and thus NLA_NUL_STRING use is the simpler solution.
