[ Upstream commit 78482af095abd9f4f29f1aa3fe575d25c6ae3028 ]
This code has two bugs:
1) "cnt" is 255 but the size of the buffer is 256 so the last byte is
not used.
2) If we try to print more than 255 characters then "cnt" will be
negative and that will trigger a WARN() in snprintf(). The fix for
this is to use scnprintf() instead of snprintf().
We can re-write this code to be cleaner:
1) Rename "offset" to "off" because that's shorter.
2) Get rid of the "cnt" variable and just use "size - off" directly.
3) Get rid of the "read" variable and just increment "off" directly.

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.
