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' */ Before: %cd /proc/pressure/ %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory [ 22.473497] nbytes=35,buf_size=31 [ 22.473775] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory [ 64.916162] nbytes=32,buf_size=31 [ 64.916331] 123456789|123456789|123456789| (print 30 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument After: %cd /proc/pressure/ %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1234" > memory [ 254.837863] nbytes=35,buf_size=32 [ 254.838541] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument %echo "123456789|123456789|123456789|1" > memory [ 9965.714935] nbytes=32,buf_size=32 [ 9965.715096] 123456789|123456789|123456789|1 (print 31 chars) %sh: write error: Invalid argument Also remove the superfluous parentheses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
