3.16.82-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8962842ca5abdcf98e22ab3b2b45a103f0408b95 upstream. It is reported that sysfs buffer overflow can be triggered if the system has too many CPU cores(>841 on 4K PAGE_SIZE) when showing CPUs of hctx via /sys/block/$DEV/mq/$N/cpu_list. Use snprintf to avoid the potential buffer overflow. This version doesn't change the attribute format, and simply stops showing CPU numbers if the buffer is going to overflow.
