Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Null terminate buffer when updating
 tunable_scaling

References: bsc#1189999 (Scheduler functional and performance backports) stable-5.14.10
Patch-mainline: v5.15
Git-commit: 703066188f63d66cc6b9d678e5b5ef1213c5938e

This patch null-terminates the temporary buffer in sched_scaling_write()
so kstrtouint() does not return failure and checks the value is valid.

Before:
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
  1
  $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
  1

After:
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
  1
  $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
  0
  $ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/tunable_scaling
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
