The overflow is detected by traverse() that is called from seq_read(). If the overflow happens, the size of the buffer is increased and show() is called again. > + } > > return iface->show(s, it); This should stay as is. It seems that the show() function might also return negative value in case of some other failure. See the error handling of "error = m->op->show(m, p);" in traverse() in fs/seq_file.c The rest of the patch looks fine.
