[BUG 2.6.20.1] in drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c

From: Frank Salomon

Hi All,

please connect a memstick/pendrive to the usb port and try to read /proc/scsi/usb-storage/<#> in 2 ways:


int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
char c, buffer[20000];
int fd, i;

fd = open ( argv[1], O_RDONLY, 0 );
if ( fd >= 0 )
{
while ( read ( fd, &c , 1 ) > 0 )
{
write ( 1, &c, 1 );
}
close ( fd );
}
fd = open ( argv[1], O_RDONLY, 0 );
if ( fd >= 0 )
{
while ( (i = read ( fd, &buffer[0] , 20000 )) > 0 )
{
write ( 1, &buffer[0], i );
}
close ( fd );
}

}

and you will get 2 results.


Error is in file drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c, macro SPRINTF. But we don't need the macro, because the buffer in fs/proc/generic.c:proc_file_read is one PAGE.
Solution is:
