If the length in the CDAT header is larger than the concatenation of the
header and all table entries, then the CDAT exposed to user space
contains trailing null bytes.
Not every consumer may be able to handle that. Per Postel's robustness
principle, "be liberal in what you accept" and silently reduce the
cached length to avoid exposing those null bytes.

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.
