[patch] tlb_uv: handle large snprintf() returns

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



snprintf() returns the number of bytes that *would* have been copied if
the buffer was large enough, so it can be larger than the size of the
buffer.  In this case it's ok, but let's put a cap on it anyway so it's
easier to audit.
