Subject: [PATCH v2] ocfs2: fix snprintf() checking
Date: Tue, 11 May 2021 16:53:50 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210511135350.GV1955@kadam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <bd7ddc22-11c4-3e88-120a-d68f153f573d@linux.alibaba.com>

The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes which would have
been printed if the buffer was large enough.  In other words it can
return ">= remain" but this code assumes it returns "== remain".

The run time impact of this bug is not very severe.  The next iteration
through the loop would trigger a WARN() when we pass a negative limit
to snprintf().  We would then return success instead of -E2BIG.

The kernel implementation of snprintf() will never return negatives so
there is no need to check and I have deleted that dead code.

Fixes: a860f6eb4c6a ("ocfs2: sysfile interfaces for online file check")
Fixes: 74ae4e104dfc ("ocfs2: Create stack glue sysfs files.")
