From: Dima Stepanov <dmitrii.stepanov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cppcheck report the following error: rnbd/rnbd-clt-sysfs.c:522:36: error: The variable 'buf' is used both as a parameter and as destination in snprintf(). The origin and destination buffers overlap. Quote from glibc (C-library) documentation (http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html#Formatted-Output-Functions): "If copying takes place between objects that overlap as a result of a call to sprintf() or snprintf(), the results are undefined." [sprintfOverlappingData] Fix it by initializing the buf variable in the first snprintf call.
