Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/4] stringbuf: A string buffer implementation

Perhaps have an sb_alloc function and a failure mode that
uses printk when sb_alloc fails or sb_append is passed null?

Perhaps something like:

stringbuf *sb_alloc(char* level, gfp_t priority)
{
	stringbuf *sb = kmalloc(sizeof(*sb), priority);
	if (sb)
		sb>len = sprintf(sb->buf, "%s", level);
	else
		printk(level);
	return sb;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sb_alloc);

/**
 * sb_append - append to a stringbuf
 * @sb: a pointer to the stringbuf
 * @fmt: printf-style format
 */
void sb_append(struct stringbuf *sb, const char *fmt, ...)
{
	va_list args;

	va_start(args, fmt);
	if (sb)
		sb->len += vscnprintf(&sb->buf[len], sizeof(sb->buf) - sb->len, fmt, args);
	else
		vprintk(fmt, args);
	va_end(args);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sb_append);

void sb_printk(struct stringbuf *sb)
{
	if (sb && sb->len > 0) {
		printk(sb->buf);
		sb->len = 0;
	}
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sb_printk);

void sb_free(stringbuf *sb)
{
	kfree(sb);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sb_free);
