First, I checked the calling code of the snprintf function in all driver files in
the hisilicon directory. Only here is the processing of return value judgment.
This treatment is indeed problematic and needs to be modified.

Then, I don't quite agree with your modification plan.
The modification of this solution is not complete.
As Herbert said, ("cluster%d") may still have overflow problems.

In the end, my proposed modification scheme is this:
...
	int ret;
	u8 i;

	for (i = 0; i < clusters_num; i++) {
		snprintf(buf, HPRE_DBGFS_VAL_MAX_LEN, "cluster%u", i);
		tmp_d = debugfs_create_dir(buf, qm->debug.debug_root);
		...
	}
...

Thanks,
Longfang.
