The test which ensures that the DMI type 1 structure is long enough
to hold the UUID is off by one. It would fail if the structure is
exactly 24 bytes long, while that's sufficient to hold the UUID.
I don't expect this bug to cause problem in practice because all
implementations I have seen had length 8, 25 or 27 bytes, in line
with the SMBIOS specifications. But let's fix it still.

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.
