The patch regmap: debugfs: Don't bother actually printing when calculating max length has been applied to the regmap tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 176fc2d5770a0990eebff903ba680d2edd32e718 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2015 07:12:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] regmap: debugfs: Don't bother actually printing when calculating max length The in kernel snprintf() will conveniently return the actual length of the printed string even if not given an output beffer at all so just do that rather than relying on the user to pass in a suitable buffer, ensuring that we don't need to worry if the buffer was truncated due to the size of the buffer passed in.
