But users treat buf > as a string(and read the string oob). It is wrong. Thanks. I am not sure I follow you. vsnprintf which is used by seq_printf will add \0 if there is a room for that. And I argue there is a lot of room in the buffer so a corner case where the buffer gets full doesn't happen with the current code. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
