Using sprintf/snprintf functions are error prone and suggested to be replaced by scnprintf/vscnrptintf as outlined in this [1] LWN article. A more recent recommendation is to use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() as per Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst in show() callback function when formatting values to be returned to user-space. These helper functions are PAGE_SIZE aware and wrap a safer call to vscnprintf(). [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/69419/ Issue identified using the coccinelle device_attr_show.cocci script.
