But likely there are still several possible overrun sprintf/snprintf paths in sysfs. Some of them are very obscure and unlikely to be found by a robot as the logic for sysfs buf uses can be fairly twisty. But provably correct conversions IMO _should_ be done and IMO churn considerations should generally have less importance. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
