From dcc4e5728eeaeda84878ca0018758cff1abfca21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2023 08:56:38 -0700 Subject: seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_str() Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf; 1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize: struct seq_buf s; char buf[32]; seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf)); Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this: DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32); 2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of seq_buf): seq_buf_terminate(s); do_something(s->buffer); Instead, we can just return s->buffer directly after terminating it in the refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_str(): do_something(seq_buf_str(s)); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231027155634.make.260-kees@kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231026194033.it.702-kees@kernel.org/ Cc: Yosry Ahmed Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Justin Stitt Cc: Kent Overstreet Cc: Petr Mladek Cc: Andy Shevchenko Cc: Rasmus Villemoes Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Yun Zhou Cc: Jacob Keller Cc: Zhen Lei Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) --- lib/seq_buf.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/seq_buf.c') diff --git a/lib/seq_buf.c b/lib/seq_buf.c index b7477aefff53..23518f77ea9c 100644 --- a/lib/seq_buf.c +++ b/lib/seq_buf.c @@ -109,9 +109,7 @@ void seq_buf_do_printk(struct seq_buf *s, const char *lvl) if (s->size == 0 || s->len == 0) return; - seq_buf_terminate(s); - - start = s->buffer; + start = seq_buf_str(s); while ((lf = strchr(start, '\n'))) { int len = lf - start + 1; -- cgit v1.2.3
