Subject: mwifiex: debugfs: Fix (sometimes) off-by-1 SSID print

From: Brian Norris <[email protected]>

commit 6183468a23fc6b6903f8597982017ad2c7fdefcf upstream.

Similar to commit fcd2042e8d36 ("mwifiex: printk() overflow with 32-byte SSIDs"), we failed to account for the existence of 32-char SSIDs in our debugfs code. Unlike in that case though, we zeroed out the containing struct first, and I'm pretty sure we're guaranteed to have some padding after the 'ssid.ssid' and 'ssid.ssid_len' fields (the struct is 33 bytes long).

So, this is the difference between:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/info
  ...
  essid="0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef "
  ...

and the correct output:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/info
  ...
  essid="0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
  ...
