When the number of bytes to be printed exceeds the limit snprintf
returns the number of bytes that would have been printed (if there was
no truncation). This might cause issues, hence use scnprintf which
returns the actual number of bytes printed to buffer always

thanks for your patch. Did you test your change on the Raspberry Pi?

Hey Stefan,
No I haven't done so as I thought this is a generic change?
Will that be necessary?
I am relatively new to kernel development
Thanks,
Rohit

No. It's not required. The patch is easy to audit and clearly
harmless.
The question would be does it actually fix a bug? I looked at it and
some of the strings are definitely a bit long. The longest one I saw
was:
" Slots: %d available (%d data), %d recyclable, %d stalls (%d data)",
123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
If you get a lot of stalls, then that looks like it could lead to a
read overflow (an information leak). Either way this does make the
code a bit easier to audit so it seems like a nice cleanup. Next time
though, I really would prefer if you put this sort analysis in your
commit message so I can just glance over it. (I'm lazy).

Hey Dan,
Thanks for reviewing this :)
I will make sure to add some analysis the next time I do a clean up like
this.
There are a lot of usages of "snprintf" throughout the staging
directory (315 to be exact)
Would it be worthwhile to find ones that may cause an information leak
and replace them with "scnprintf"?
Thanks,
Rohit

A lot of times it's really easy to see that the uses are safe, so
snprintf() is fine in that case. If it's not obviously safe then change
it.
