Since snprintf() has the documented, but still rather strange trait of
returning the length of the data that *would have been* written to the
array if space were available, rather than the arguably more useful
length of data *actually* written, it is usually considered wise to use
something else instead in order to avoid confusion.

In the case of sysfs call-backs, new wrappers exist that do just that.

Actually, a treewide replacement for snprintf(dst, PAGE_SIZE, ... to
sysfs_emit might be workable too. Here's the .cocci file I made quickly:

@replace@
expression DST;
@@

- snprintf(DST, PAGE_SIZE,
+ sysfs_emit(DST,
  ...)

This produced almost 1000 changes:

Some need some manual examination, like:

arch/powerpc/platforms/ps3/system-bus.c:modalias_show() does:

        return (len >= PAGE_SIZE) ? (PAGE_SIZE - 1) : len;

which isn't needed any more.

Regardless,
