Subject: [PATCH v2 8/9] nvdimm: ndtest: Return the string length from flags_show()
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:27:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919002714.4060307-8-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919002658.stay.929-kees@kernel.org>
flags_show() build their output with a seq_buf and return seq_buf_used(),
which may include the trailing NUL byte when the seq_buf has
overflowed. Use seq_buf_strlen() instead.
The flag names are far shorter than the PAGE_SIZE buffer sysfs
provides, so this cannot overflow today.
Build tested ARCH=x86_64 with GCC 16.2.0, built out of tree with
make M=tools/testing/nvdimm:
tools/testing/nvdimm/test/ndtest.o
