Linus Torvalds 51a24b7dea Two fixes for rtla in v6.17:
- Fix a buffer overflow in actions_parse()
 
   The "trigger_c" variable did not account for the nul byte when
   determining its size.
 
 - Fix a compare that had the values reversed
 
   actions_destroy() is to reallocate when len is greater than the current size,
   but the compare was testing if size is greater than the new length.

 - Fix a buffer overflow in actions_parse()

   The "trigger_c" variable did not account for the nul byte when
   determining its size

 - Fix a compare that had the values reversed

   actions_destroy() is supposed to reallocate when len is greater than
   the current size, but the compare was testing if size is greater than
   the new length

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
