Subject: [for-next][PATCH 16/16] tracing: Use seq_buf for string concatenation
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 20:05:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729000557.641743825@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729000523.093060274@kernel.org>
From: Woradorn Laodhanadhaworn <woradorn.laon@gmail.com>
In preparation for removing the strlcat API[1],
replace the string concatenation logic with a struct seq_buf,
which tracks the current position and the remaining space internally.
Use seq_buf_str() to NUL-terminate before passing to early_enable_events().
