[ Upstream commit454257f6d1] sysfs_kf_seq_show() defends against buggy show() callbacks that return larger than PAGE_SIZE by clamping the value and printing a warning. sysfs_kf_read(), the prealloc variant, has no such defense. The only current in-tree user of __ATTR_PREALLOC is drivers/md/md.c, whose show() callbacks are well-behaved, so this is hardening against future drivers doing foolish things and out-of-tree code doing even more foolish things.

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.
