Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 08/11] seq_buf: Add seq_buf_init_append()
Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2026 04:05:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261003040547.E30AA1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)

> Several strlcat() call sites being converted to seq_buf need behavior
> seq_buf doesn't currently provide. The normal seq_buf_init() always
> sets the new buffer size to 0 via seq_buf_clear(). Code migrating from
> strlcat(buf, ...), which appends to whatever buf already contains,
> can't use seq_buf_init() without discarding that existing content. Add
> seq_buf_init_append(), which preserves the existing contents and positions
> the seq_buf to append after it. A buffer with no NUL within its size
> starts out overflowed, as strlcat() treats it as already truncated.
> Add KUnit tests for behavior coverage.
>
> Tests passed under qemu on ARCH=x86_64 with GCC 16.2.0 and CONFIG_KASAN=y,
> and on big-endian ARCH=s390 with GCC s390x-linux-gnu 16.2.0.
