The code in traceprobe_probes_write() reads up to 4096 bytes from userpace for each line. If userspace passes in several lines to execute, the code will do a large read for each line, even though, it is highly likely that the first read from userspace received all of the lines at once. I changed the logic to do a single read from userspace, and to only read from userspace again if not all of the read from userspace made it in. I tested this by adding printk()s and writing files that would test -1, ==, and +1 the buffer size, to make sure that there's no overflows and that if a single line is written with +1 the buffer size, that it fails properly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
