Bruce is needed. There is one more user, i.e. fs/proc/array.c::task_name(). In all of them we have to amend a prepend commentary. Like changing 'Ignore the error' to 'Ignore the overflow'.

The more I think about it, the less I like having dst being char**. (1) It is unlike most other functions taking buffer+size arguments. (2) It is inconvenient. Callers doing char escaped[SOME_SIZE]; or char *escaped = kmalloc(likely_big_enough); can't just pass &escaped; they would need to use an extra dummy variable. (3) With the return value telling the size of the would-be generated output, it is redundant.

Anyway, the semantics of string_escape_mem needs to be decided before it makes sense to update the tests. > When your series will be ready (and actually I recommend to push first > patch apart from the rest since it's not related) I agree on that part. Andrew, could you take 1/3 (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1876841/focus=348404), and then we'll see when the %pE case gets sorted out.

Fair enough, though there usual case when temporary variable is already present (at least current users). Let's proceed with char *dst.

The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its two current users, vsnprintf(). If that is to honour its contract, it must know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf). So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like: Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst it is allowed to, and don't do '\0'-termination. It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to append a '\0' if desired. This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem(); since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would happily write to dst. For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops. In test-string_helpers.c, I removed the now meaningless -ENOMEM test, and replaced it with testing for getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small. Also ensure that nothing is written when osz==0. In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics. Someone should definitely double-check this.
