After correctly allocating the the manufacturer or device name, and correctly copying the not-null-terminated string from ipmi-fru, I put the termination '\0' at string[len + 1] . If you build a recent kernel under slob (which is the default), it may fail miserably at unexpected places. For example, if your string is 15 bytes, I allocated 16 but wrote to the 17th. slob has 16-byte alloc areas, and so I was corrupting the next area. This never happened with slab (which I prefer and run) because the smalles allocation chunk there is 32 bytes -- I would experience the same with a 31-long manufacturer or device name.
