Here "temp" is the number of characters that we have written and "size" is the size of the buffer. The intent was clearly to say that if we have written to the end of the buffer then stop. However, for that to work the comparison should have been done on the original "size" value instead of the "size -= temp" value. Not only will that not trigger when we want to, but there is a small chance that it will trigger incorrectly before we want it to and we break from the loop slightly earlier than intended. This code was recently changed from using snprintf() to scnprintf(). With snprintf() we likely would have continued looping and passed a negative size parameter to snprintf(). This would have triggered an annoying WARN(). Now that we have converted to scnprintf() "size" will never drop below 1 and there is no real need for this test. We could change the condition to "if (temp <= 1) goto done;" but just deleting the test is cleanest.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
