[PATCH] hid: avoid '\0' in hid debugfs events file
When dumping /sys/kernel/debug/hid/$device/events '\0' characters show up (invisible if cat to console but shown by less or while looking at a dump file). These are due to hid_debug_event() adding strlen()+1 bytes to the ring buffer (e.g. including the trailing '\0'). Any roll-over causes a '\0' as well as hid_deb... 15 Mar 2010 14:37
