Hey Richard.

Just to clarify, this patch is for net and not for net-next
as net-next has removed the seq_printf return uses.

Are you going to submit an equivalent patch for net-next?

And Steven,

commit e71456ae9871
("netfilter: Remove checks of seq_printf() return values")
mistakenly converted this to use seq_has_overflowed()

Ideally all seq_show functions would be converted from

int foo_seq_show(...)
{
	seq_printf(s, ...);
	return seq_has_overflowed(s);
}

to

int foo_seq_show(...)
{
	seq_printf(s, ...);
	return 0;
}

I made that mistake in a patch and corrected it later.

Here's a suggested -next patch:

Perhaps it shouldn't be submitted now as it may conflict
with what Richard might submit if he propses an equivalent
patch to above for -next.

There is an appropriate use of return seq_has_overflowed in: 

net/netfilter/xt_hashlimit.c:825:       return seq_has_overflowed(s);

That's not a seq_show function, it's a helper for one.
