Subject: printk: fix possible printk overrun
From: Tejun Heo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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.
[ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
bug was introduced by me via:
commit 32a76006683f7b28ae3cc491da37716e002f198e
