One of the last remaining users of strlcpy() in the kernel is
kernfs_path_from_node_locked(), which passes back the problematic "length
we _would_ have copied" return value to indicate truncation. Convert the
chain of all callers to use the negative return value (some of which
already doing this explicitly). All callers were already also checking
for negative return values, so the risk to missed checks looks very low.
In this analysis, it was found that cgroup1_release_agent() actually
didn't handle the "too large" condition, so this is technically also a
bug fix. :)
Here's the chain of callers, and resolution identifying each one as now
handling the correct return value:
kernfs_path_from_node_locked()
kernfs_path_from_node()
pr_cont_kernfs_path()
returns void
kernfs_path()
sysfs_warn_dup()
return value ignored
cgroup_path()
blkg_path()
bfq_bic_update_cgroup()
return value ignored
TRACE_IOCG_PATH()
return value ignored
TRACE_CGROUP_PATH()
return value ignored
perf_event_cgroup()
return value ignored
task_group_path()
return value ignored
damon_sysfs_memcg_path_eq()
return value ignored
get_mm_memcg_path()
return value ignored
lru_gen_seq_show()
return value ignored
cgroup_path_from_kernfs_id()
return value ignored
cgroup_show_path()
already converted "too large" error to negative value
cgroup_path_ns_locked()
cgroup_path_ns()
bpf_iter_cgroup_show_fdinfo()
return value ignored
cgroup1_release_agent()
wasn't checking "too large" error
proc_cgroup_show()
already converted "too large" to negative value

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.
