Subject: sunrpc/cache: fix off-by-one in qword_get()

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <[email protected]>

commit b7052cd7bcf3c1478796e93e3dff2b44c9e82943 upstream.

The qword_get() function NUL-terminates its output buffer. If the input string is in hex format \xXXXX... and the same length as the output buffer, there is an off-by-one:

  int qword_get(char **bpp, char *dest, int bufsize)
  {
      ...
      while (len < bufsize) {
          ...
          *dest++ = (h << 4) | l;
          len++;
      }
      ...
      *dest = '\0';
      return len;
  }

This patch ensures the NUL terminator doesn't fall outside the output buffer.
