This sscanf() is reading from the filename which was set by the kernel so it should be trust worthy. Although the data is likely trust worthy there is some bounds checking but unfortunately, it is not complete or consistent. Additionally, the Smatch static checker marks everything that comes from sscanf() as tainted and so Smatch complains that this code can lead to an out of bounds issue. Let's clean things up and make Smatch happy. The first problem is that there is no bounds checking in the _show() functions. The _store() and _show() functions are very similar so make the bounds checking the same in both. The second issue is that if "win_no" is zero it leads to an array underflow so add an if (win_no <= 0) check for that.
