printk: fix possible printk overrun
printk recursion detection prepends message to printk_buf and offsets printk_buf when actual message is printed but it forgets to trim buffer length accordingly. This can result in overrun in extreme cases. Fix it. [ mingo@elte.hu: bug was introduced by me via: commit 32a76006683f7b28ae3cc491da37716e002f198e Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Date: Fri Jan 25 21:07:58 2008 +0100 printk: make printk more robust by not allowing recursion ] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
