[SCSI] prevent stack buffer overflow in host_reset
store_host_reset() has tried to re-invent the wheel to compare sysfs strings. Unfortunately it did so poorly and never bothered to check the input from userspace before overwriting stack with it, so something simple as: echo "WoopsieWoopsie" > /sys/devices/pseudo_0/adapter0/host0/scsi_host/host0/host_reset would result in: [ 316.310101] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffff81f5bac7 [ 316.310101] [ 316.320051] Pid: 6655, comm: sh Tainted: G W 3.7.0-rc5-next-20121114-sasha-00016-g5c9d68d-dirty #129 [ 316.320051] Call Trace: [ 316.340058] pps pps0: PPS event at 1352918752.620355751 [ 316.340062] pps pps0: capture assert seq #303 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff83b3856b>] panic+0xcd/0x1f4 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff81f5bac7>] ? store_host_reset+0xd7/0x100 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff8110b996>] __stack_chk_fail+0x16/0x20 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff81f5bac7>] store_host_reset+0xd7/0x100 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff81e55bb3>] dev_attr_store+0x13/0x30 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff812f7db1>] sysfs_write_file+0x101/0x170 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff8127acc8>] vfs_write+0xb8/0x180 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff8127ae80>] sys_write+0x50/0xa0 [ 316.320051] [<ffffffff83c03418>] tracesys+0xe1/0xe6 Fix this by uninventing whatever was going on there and just use sysfs_streq.
