I noticed recently that decode_attr_fs_locations() is not generating very pretty debugging output. The pathname components each appear on a separate line of output, though that does not appear to be the intended display behavior. The preferred way to generate continued lines of output on the console is to use pr_cont(). Note that incoming pathname4 components contain a string that is not necessarily NUL-terminated. I did actually see some trailing garbage on the console. In addition to correcting the line continuation problem, add a string precision format specifier to ensure that each component string is displayed properly, and that vsnprintf() does not Oops. Someone pointed out that allowing incoming network data to possibly generate a console line of unbounded length may not be such a good idea. Since this output will rarely be enabled, and there is a hard upper bound (NFS4_PATHNAME_MAXCOMPONENTS) in our implementation, this is probably not a major concern. It might be useful to additionally sanity-check the length of each incoming component, however. RFC 3530bis15 does not suggest a maximum number of UTF-8 characters per component for either the pathname4 or component4 types. However, we could invent one that is appropriate for our implementation. Another possibility is to scrap all of this and print these pathnames in upper layers after a reasonable amount of sanity checking in the XDR layer. This would give us an opportunity to allocate a full buffer so that the whole pathname would be output via a single dprintk.
