Update the function to use sysfs_emit_at while neatening the uses
of sprintf and overwriting the last space char with a newline.

Better:
	int i, len = 0;

This is ... complicated.  I thought the point of doing all the sysfs_emit
stuff was to simplify things.

I generally disagree as I think it better to have each declaration on an
individual line.

The removal of fmt allows the format and argument to be __printf verified.
Indirected formats do not generally allow that.

And using sysfs_emit is not really intended to simplify output code, it's
used to make sure there isn't a overflow of the PAGE_SIZE output buf when
using sprintf/snprintf.

Look, this isn't performance sensitive code.  Just do something simple.

		if (shmem_huge == values[i])
			buf += sysfs_emit(buf, "[%s]",
					shmem_format_huge(values[i]));
		else
			buf += sysfs_emit(buf, "%s",
					shmem_format_huge(values[i]));
		if (i == ARRAY_SIZE(values) - 1)
			buf += sysfs_emit(buf, "\n");
		else
			buf += sysfs_emit(buf, " ");

Shame there's no sysfs_emitc, but there you go.

Are you asking about the function argument alignment or the commit message?

The function argument alignment because the function is being updated.
The commit itself because sysfs_emit is the documented preferred interface.

I'm not wrong.  We just disagree.  Look for yourself at typical
declaration use in the kernel.  The typical style is single line
declarations.

That single declaration per line style is also documented in
coding-style.rst

"To this end, use just one data declaration per line (no commas for
multiple data declarations)"

I think what's there is simple.

And your suggested code doesn't work.
sysfs_emit is used for single emits.
sysfs_emit_at is used for multiple emits.

The indentation.  Don't change the fucking indentation, Joe.

Again, you're wrong.

Oh, ugh, sysfs_emit() should be able to work on a buffer that isn't
page aligned.  Greg, how about this?

I thought of that originally and didn't want to implement it that
way as it allows sysfs_emit to be used on non-page aligned buffers.

Using two functions makes sure the buf is always page aligned and
so buf should never defectively be passed in unaligned.

How can sysfs_emit() be called on a non-page-aligned buffer?  It's being
used on the buffer that was passed to the sysfs call.

And if you are writing multiple values to a single sysfs file output,
well, not good...

That's a bit too 'tricky' for my taste, why is it somehow needed?

See shmem_enabled_show() in mm/shmem.c (output at
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled on your machine).

I don't claim it's a good interface, but it exists.

Ok, that's a common pattern for sysfs files, not that bad.

What's wrong with using sysfs_emit_at()?  We want sysfs_emit() to "know"
that the buffer is PAGE_SIZE big, if you try to allow offsets in it,
that defeats the purpose of the check.

Or am I missing something else here?

thanks,

For someone who's used to C "strings", it's pretty common to do
something like:

	buf += sprintf(buf, "foo ");
	buf += sprintf(buf, "bar ");

sysfs_emit_at instead wants me to do:

	len += sprintf(buf + len, "foo ");
	len += sprintf(buf + len, "bar ");

I don't see how the code I wrote defeats the check.  It checks that the
buffer never crosses a PAGE_SIZE boundary, which is equivalently safe.

It's not equivalent code.

What was actually necessary was using scnprintf which tests the
number of bytes available in the buffer.

The actual equivalent code was something like:

	int used = 0;
	used += scnprintf(buf + used, PAGE_SIZE - used, "foo ");
	used += scnprintf(buf + used, PAGE_SIZE - used, "bar ");

And it'd be required to store the original buf value passed to be
able to return the actual number of bytes emitted when multiple
calls are used.

	return sprintf(buf) - obuf;

This also does and can not verify that buf is originally page aligned.
