I have read fs/seq_file.c and looks like it's the right way.
seq_has_overflowed() is used to avoid useless work. If we call it or
don't call it, the result must be the same in both cases. So from this
point of view it looks logically correct too.

There are two interesting places from seq_file.c
                error = m->op->show(m, p);
                if (error < 0)
                        break;
                if (unlikely(error)) {
                        error = 0;
                        m->count = 0;
                }
                if (seq_has_overflowed(m))
                        goto Eoverflow;

...
                err = m->op->show(m, p);
                if (err < 0)
                        break;
                if (unlikely(err))
                        m->count = 0;
                if (unlikely(!m->count)) {
                        p = m->op->next(m, p, &pos);
                        m->index = pos;
                        continue;
                }
                if (m->count < m->size)
                        goto Fill;
                m->op->stop(m, p);
                kvfree(m->buf);
                m->count = 0;
                m->buf = seq_buf_alloc(m->size <<= 1);
