name[] in cma_debugfs_add_one() can only accommodate 16 chars including NULL to store sprintf output. It's common for cma device name to be larger than 15 chars. This can cause stack corrpution. If the gcc stack protector is turned on, this can cause a panic due to stack corruption. Below is one example trace: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffff8e69a75730 Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x2c4 show_stack+0x20/0x28 dump_stack+0xb8/0xf4 panic+0x154/0x2b0 print_tainted+0x0/0xc0 cma_debugfs_init+0x274/0x290 do_one_initcall+0x5c/0x168 kernel_init_freeable+0x1c8/0x280 Fix the short sprintf buffer in cma_debugfs_add_one() by using scnprintf() instead of sprintf().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
