2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Linus Torvalds commit d39b7dd1dcbf394a1cb897457c862dafe9a20ac5 upstream. Not a single line of actual code in the function was really fundamentally correct. Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that format. This tries to do better.
