The max length of debugfs argument is 256 which is too short, the
arguments are two paths, the PATH_MAX is 4096 according to
/usr/include/linux/limits.h, use 2048 (4096 / 2) is a reasonable value.

I'd just use BUFSIZ (which is 8192 on Linux systems).  That's what the
ss library uses, and if you might have two paths and PATH_MAX is 4096,
2048 could easily be too small.

Hi Ted,

Thanks, I will update it and send a V3.
