[PATCH V3] ubifs: correct UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro definition and improve code clarity

From: ZhaoLong Wang
Date: Wed Apr 17 2024 - 05:27:08 EST


The UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro, which defines the maximum length of the UBIFS
debugfs directory name, has an incorrect formula and misleading comments.
The current formula is (3 + 1 + 2*2 + 1), which assumes that both UBI device
number and volume ID are limited to 2 characters. However, UBI device number
ranges from 0 to 37 (2 characters), and volume ID ranges from 0 to 127 (up
to 3 characters).

Although the current code works due to the cancellation of mathematical
errors (9 + 1 = 10, which matches the correct UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN value), it
can lead to confusion and potential issues in the future.

This patch aims to improve the code clarity and maintainability by making
the following changes:

1. Corrects the UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro definition to (3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1),
accommodating the maximum lengths of both UBI device number and volume ID,
plus the separators and null terminator.
2. Updates the snprintf calls to use UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN instead of
UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN + 1, removing the unnecessary +1.
3. Modifies the error checks to compare against UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN using >=
instead of >, aligning with the corrected macro definition.
4. Removes the redundant +1 in the dfs_dir_name array definitions in ubi.h
and debug.h.
5. Removes the duplicated UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN and UBIFS_DFS_DIR_NAME macro
definitions in ubifs.h, as they are already defined in debug.h.

While these changes do not affect the runtime behavior, they make the code
more readable, maintainable, and less prone to future errors.
