Agreed, I'll fix all of it.

Sure.

Ah, right. That was another redundant check too...

Hm, I'll take this, because WRITE_BUFSIZE should be the size
of buffer.

Hmm, here, there will be a case that the last line is
terminated without a new line...

Hmm, I'd like to use seq_print_ip_sym() rather than %pF/%pf,
because there is a difference between them when ftrace's sym-addr
option is set.

Set a probe and a return probe on vfs_read, like

echo p vfs_read > kprobe_events
echo r vfs_read >> kprobe_events

And if we use seq_print_ip_sym() and sym-addr is 1,
we'll see below output;

<...>-1908  [001] 875089.743395: vfs_read+0x0/0x102 <ffffffff810dfe00>:
<...>-1908  [001] 875089.743398: sys_read+0x47/0x70 <ffffffff810dffc6> <- vfs_read <ffffffff810dfe00>:

On the other hand, if we use trace_seq_printf("%pf...), then:

<...>-1861  [001] 873504.331268: vfs_read+0x0/0x102 <ffffffff810dfdd0>:
<...>-1861  [001] 873504.331272: sys_read+0x47/0x70 <- vfs_read:

In this case, we can't see the real address of those symbols.

Thank you for review my patch!
