[PATCH 5.13 380/800] ocfs2: fix snprintf() checking

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-07-12 08:45:12
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), oracle cluster filesystem 2 (ocfs2), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Mark Fasheh, Joel Becker, Joseph Qi, Linus Torvalds

From: Dan Carpenter <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 54e948c60cc843b6e84dc44496edc91f51d2a28e ]

The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes which would have been
printed if the buffer was large enough.  In other words it can return ">=
remain" but this code assumes it returns "== remain".

The run time impact of this bug is not very severe.  The next iteration
through the loop would trigger a WARN() when we pass a negative limit to
snprintf().  We would then return success instead of -E2BIG.

The kernel implementation of snprintf() will never return negatives so
there is no need to check and I have deleted that dead code.

Fixes: a860f6eb4c6a ("ocfs2: sysfile interfaces for online file check")
Fixes: 74ae4e104dfc ("ocfs2: Create stack glue sysfs files.")
