When passing a equal or more then 32 bytes long string to psi_write(), psi_write() copies 31 bytes to its buf and overwrites buf[30] with '\0'. Which makes the input string 1 byte shorter than it should be.
Fix it by copying sizeof(buf) bytes when nbytes >= sizeof(buf).
This does not cause problems in normal use case like: "some 500000 10000000" or "full 500000 10000000" because they are less than 32 bytes in length.
/* assuming nbytes == 35 */ char buf[32];
buf_size = min(nbytes, (sizeof(buf) - 1)); /* buf_size = 31 */ if (copy_from_user(buf, user_buf, buf_size)) return -EFAULT;
buf[buf_size - 1] = '\0'; /* buf[30] = '\0' */
