[ Upstream commit ea167a7fc2426f7685c3735e104921c1a20a6d3f ] Commit3c0897c180("cpufreq: Use scnprintf() for avoiding potential buffer overflow") switched from snprintf to the more secure scnprintf but never updated the exit condition for PAGE_SIZE. As the commit say and as scnprintf document, what scnprintf returns what is actually written not counting the '\0' end char. This results in the case of len exceeding the size, len set to PAGE_SIZE - 1, as it can be written at max PAGE_SIZE - 1 (as '\0' is not counted) Because of len is never set to PAGE_SIZE, the function never break early, never prints the warning and never return -EFBIG. Fix this by changing the condition to PAGE_SIZE - 1 to correctly trigger the error.

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.
