Re: [RESEND PATCH 1/2] PM / devfreq: Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show

Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show().

Convert simple snprintf to the more secure scnprintf with size of
PAGE_SIZE.

Add condition checking if we are exceeding PAGE_SIZE and exit early from
loop. Also add at the end a warning that we exceeded PAGE_SIZE and that
stats is disabled.

Return -EFBIG in the case where we don't have enough space to write the
full transition table.

Also document in the ABI that this function can return -EFBIG error.

Hi,

maybe using sysfs_emit_at() could be even cleaner and less verbose?

I'm not sure that adding all these tests is needed. It could save some cycles in the worse case (when buf could overflow), but in fact wastes cycles in the normel case.
