Hello,

i detected an overlapping data buffer at file 
"[linux-2.6.29.3/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c"
For detection, i used the static code analysis tool cppcheck. It prints the following message:
[linux-2.6.29.3/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c:545]: (error) Overlapping data buffer buf


Take a loop at file qla_attr.c at line 545:

		return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", buf);

Here, buf is used by iteself, this is dangerous!!!!

Best regards

Ettl Martin
