Subject: [PATCH v2 7/9] powerpc/papr_scm: Return the string length from the sysfs show functions
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:27:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919002714.4060307-7-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919002658.stay.929-kees@kernel.org>
perf_stats_show() and 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.
Build tested ARCH=powerpc ppc64_defconfig with GCC powerpc64-linux-gnu
16.1.0:
