[PATCH v2 2/3] mm/page_owner: Use scnprintf() to avoid excessive buffer overrun check

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

 



The snprintf() function can return a length greater than the given
input size. That will require a check for buffer overrun after each
invocation of snprintf(). scnprintf(), on the other hand, will never
return a greater length. By using scnprintf() in selected places, we
can avoid some buffer overrun checks except after stack_depot_snprint()
and after the last snprintf().
