[PATCH 1/4] ACPI: sysfs: Fix the check for a potential string truncation

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

 



snprintf() does not return negative values on error.
To know if the buffer was too small, the returned value should be compared
with the length of the passed buffer. If it is bigger or equal, then the
output has been truncated.

Update the test for truncation accordingly.

Also return -ENOMEM in such a case, as already done below in the same
functions.

Fixes: 8765c5ba1949 ("ACPI / scan: Rework modalias creation when "compatible" is present")
