    dccp: fix bug in cache allocation · 8ed030dd
    Gerrit Renker authored
    This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86c
    
    
    ("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the
    vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since
    slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array.
    
    This lead to error messages such as
     FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available
    
     >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci
    generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character.
    
    Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.
