[PATCH v3 1/3] fbdev: bound mode sysfs output to the sysfs buffer
From: Melbin K Mathew
Date: Wed Jul 01 2026 - 19:43:35 EST
mode_string() uses snprintf() which can return a value larger than the
remaining buffer space. show_modes() accumulates the return value into i
without checking whether i has reached PAGE_SIZE, causing the offset to
advance past the sysfs buffer if the modelist is long enough.
Add a size parameter to mode_string() and use scnprintf() to return
only the bytes actually written. Add an early return when offset
already exceeds the buffer. In show_modes(), stop accumulating once
the buffer is full.
