[lustre-devel] [PATCH 19/42] lustre: ptlrpc: NUL terminate long jobid strings

[James Simmons]

From: Andreas Dilger <adilger at whamcloud.com>

It appears that some jobid names can be sent that are using the full
32-byte size, rather than containing an embedded NUL terminator. This
caused errors in lprocfs_job_stats_log() server side when it overflowed.

If there is no NUL terminator in lustre_msg_get_jobid() then add one
if not found within the buffer, so that the rest of the code doesn't
have to deal with unterminated strings.

This potentially exposes a larger issue that other places may not be
handling the unterminated string properly either, which needs to be
addressed separately on both the client and server.  Terminating the
jobid to 31 chars only on the client does not totally solve the issue,
since there will still be older clients that are not doing this, so
the server needs to handle this in any case.
