This looks like
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=e2c932aec5c8a6e1d31c could you
add:

Maybe we should duplicate or drop this comment ? The intent there was
to say "we only have to copy from raw_args" which apply to both blocks
now. In hindsight it doesn't seem to be a very useful comment though
so maybe it's not worth keeping around.

Could you extend test_snprintf_negative() in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/snprintf.c to cover %p% ? FWIW:
This exact same problem already happened in a previous life of this
code https://lkml.kernel.org/netdev/85a08645-453b-78ad-e401-55d2894fa64a@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/
so it would be interesting to add more thorough test cases to convince
ourselves that everything works well now, like %pB% too or others
maybe ?

Thanks!
