Hmm, the above could easily be replaced with:

	struct seq_buf s;

	buf = kzalloc(MAX_DYNEVENT_CMD_LEN, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!buf)
		return -ENOMEM;

	seq_buf_init(&s, buf, MAX_DYNEVENT_CMD_LEN);

	seq_buf_puts(&s, name);

	for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
		seq_buf_putc(&s, ' ');
		seq_buf_puts(&s, argv[i]);
	}

	if (!seq_buf_buffer_left(&s)) {
		synth_err(SYNTH_ERR_CMD_TOO_LONG, 0);
		kfree(buf);
		return -EINVAL;
	}
	buf[s.len] = 0;
	last_cmd_set(buf);

	kfree(buf);
	return 0;
