I'm adding a comment here:

/**
 * seq_buf_can_fit - can the new data fit in the current buffer?
 * @s: the seq_buf descriptor
 * @len: The length to see if it can fit in the current buffer
 *
 * Returns true if there's enough unused space in the seq_buf buffer
 * to fit the amount of new data according to @len.
