When this value is not used, it is more logical to use snprintf() which is
slightly simpler.

Seems reasonable:

No, let's stay with scnprintf as the default - snprintf should be
deprecated except for when its return value is actually needed, using it
incorrectly has been a source of buffer overruns in the past.


Ok, I was not aware of it.

In this case, there are also some s/snprintf/scnprintf/ opportunities in fs/bcachefs

Does it make sense to update them or is it too low value changes?
