sched/psi: Correct overly pessimistic size calculation
When passing a equal or more then 32 bytes long string to psi_write(),
psi_write() copies 31 bytes to its buf and overwrites buf[30]
with '\0'. Which makes the input string 1 byte shorter than
it should be.
Fix it by copying sizeof(buf) bytes when nbytes >= sizeof(buf).
This does not cause problems in normal use case like:
"some 500000 10000000" or "full 500000 10000000" because they
are less than 32 bytes in length.
/* assuming nbytes == 35 */
char buf[32];
buf_size = min(nbytes, (sizeof(buf) - 1)); /* buf_size = 31 */
if (copy_from_user(buf, user_buf, buf_size))
return -EFAULT;
buf[buf_size - 1] = '\0'; /* buf[30] = '\0' */
Before:
%cd /proc/pressure/
%echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory
[ 22.473497] nbytes=35,buf_size=31
[ 22.473775] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars)
%sh: write error: Invalid argument
%echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory
[ 64.916162] nbytes=32,buf_size=31
[ 64.916331] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars)
%sh: write error: Invalid argument
After:
%cd /proc/pressure/
%echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory
[ 254.837863] nbytes=35,buf_size=32
[ 254.838541] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars)
%sh: write error: Invalid argument
%echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory
[ 9965.714935] nbytes=32,buf_size=32
[ 9965.715096] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars)
%sh: write error: Invalid argument
Also remove the superfluous parentheses.
