Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

snprintf() is a hard-to-use function, and it's especially difficult to use it properly for concatenating substrings in a buffer with a limited size. Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size, not the actual size, the subsequent use of snprintf() may point to the incorrect position easily. Also, returning the value from snprintf() directly to sysfs show function would pass a bogus value that is higher than the actually truncated string. That said, although the current code doesn't actually overflow the buffer with PAGE_SIZE, it's a usage that shouldn't be done. Or it's worse; this gives a wrong confidence as if it were doing safe operations. This patch replaces such snprintf() calls with a safer version, scnprintf(). It returns the actual output size, hence it's more intuitive and the code does what's expected.

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.
