Package: acpid Version: 1.0.8-6 Tags: patch I've been seeing the following warning in kernel logs lately:
evdev.c(EVIOCGBIT): Suspicious buffer size 511, limiting output to 64 bytes. See http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html It corresponds with acpid being started up in netlink mode. The following patch stops acpid from triggering this warning. --- acpid-1.0.8/debian/patches/netlink.diff 2009-03-27 23:22:10.000000000 +0000 +++ debian/patches/netlink.diff 2009-03-27 23:39:23.000000000 +0000 @@ -1320,7 +1320,7 @@ + + memset(bit, 0, sizeof(bit)); + /* get the event type bitmap */ -+ ioctl(fd, EVIOCGBIT(0, EV_MAX), bit[0]); ++ ioctl(fd, EVIOCGBIT(0, sizeof (bit[0])), bit[0]); + + /* for each event type */ + for (type = 0; type < EV_MAX; type++) { @@ -1329,7 +1329,7 @@ + /* skip sync */ + if (type == EV_SYN) continue; + /* get the event code mask */ -+ ioctl(fd, EVIOCGBIT(type, KEY_MAX), bit[type]); ++ ioctl(fd, EVIOCGBIT(type, sizeof (bit[type])), bit[type]); + /* for each event code */ + for (code = 0; code < KEY_MAX; code++) { + /* if this event code is supported */ -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
