Subject: [19/29] SCSI: enclosure: fix oops while iterating enclosure_status array

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@...e.de>

commit cc9b2e9f6603190c009e5d2629ce8e3f99571346 upstream.

Based on patch originally by Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@...e.com>

 enclosure_status is expected to be a NULL terminated array of strings
 but isn't actually NULL terminated. When writing an invalid value to
 /sys/class/enclosure/.../.../status, it goes off the end of the array
 and Oopses.


Fix by making the assumption true and adding NULL at the end.
