The memcpy is still kind of silly right? What about this:

static int ocrdma_add_stat(char *start, char *pcur, char *name, u64 count)
{
	size_t len = (start + OCRDMA_MAX_DBGFS_MEM) - pcur;
	int cpy_len;

	cpy_len = snprintf(pcur, len, "%s: %llu\n", name, count);
	if (cpy_len >= len || cpy_len < 0) {
		pr_err("%s: No space in stats buff\n", __func__);
		return 0;
	}
	return cpy_len;
}
