Before each invocation of vsnprintf(), do_test() memsets the entire allocated buffer to a sentinel value. That buffer includes leading and trailing padding which is never included in the buffer area handed to vsnprintf (spaces merely for clarity): pad test_buffer pad **** **************** **** Then vsnprintf() is invoked with a bufsize argument <= BUF_SIZE. Suppose bufsize=10, then we'd have e.g. |pad | test_buffer |pad | **** pizza0 **** ****** **** A B C D E where vsnprintf() was given the area from B to D. It is obviously a bug for vsnprintf to touch anything between A and B or between D and E. The former is checked for as one would expect. But for the latter, we are actually a little stricter in that we check the area between C and E. Split that check in two, providing a clearer error message in case it was a genuine buffer overrun and not merely a write within the provided buffer, but after the end of the generated string. So far, no part of the vsnprintf() implementation has had any use for using the whole buffer as scratch space, but it's not unreasonable to allow that, as long as the result is properly nul-terminated and the return value is the right one. However, it is somewhat unusual, and most %<something> won't need this, so keep the [C,D] check, but make it easy for a later patch to make that part opt-out for certain tests.

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.
