+Subject: [PATCH] dmesg: avoid mess at the end of dmesg output
+
+Since util-linux commit a7ee94f2204011f26232ed3133514bf6e0d4a62c,
+dmesg incorrectly calculates number of bytes that are remaining in the
+buffer in get_next_record(). This could, under specific circumstances,
+cause printing mess at the end of dmesg output:
+
+> dmesg | tail
+[ 1191.478725] Adding 285488k swap on /root/swapfile.  Priority:-2 extents:15 across:1186612k
