Subject[RFC PATCH 06/17] tracing: Use trace_seq_used() and seq_buf_used() instead of len
Date
From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

commit 5ac48378414dccca735897c4d7f4e19987c8977c upstream.

As the seq_buf->len will soon be +1 size when there's an overflow, we
must use trace_seq_used() or seq_buf_used() methods to get the real
length. This will prevent buffer overflow issues if just the len
of the seq_buf descriptor is used to copy memory.
