Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] fbdev: bound mode sysfs output to the sysfs buffer
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 01:42:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701234248.236023-2-mlbnkm1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701231706.234715-1-mlbnkm1@gmail.com>

mode_string() uses snprintf() which can return a value larger than the
remaining buffer space. show_modes() accumulates the return value into i
without checking whether i has reached PAGE_SIZE, causing the offset to
advance past the sysfs buffer if the modelist is long enough.

Add a size parameter to mode_string() and use scnprintf() to return
only the bytes actually written. Add an early return when offset
already exceeds the buffer. In show_modes(), stop accumulating once
the buffer is full.
