Sorry - I missed that.
So add

end = strrchr(tmpstr, '\n');
if (end)
end[1] = 0;
else
tmpstr[0] = 0;

or maybe something like
list_for_each_entry(xcl, &svc_xprt_class_list, xcl_list) {
int l = snprintf(buf + len, maxlen - len, "%s %d\n",
xcl->xcl_name, xcl->xcl_max_payload);
if (l < maxlen - len)
len += l;
}
buf[len] = 0;

There really is no need to have the secondary buffer, and I think doing
so just complicates the code.
That last version is a change of behaviour in that it will skip over
lines that are too long, rather than aborting on the first one.
I don't know which is preferred.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

In the interest of getting this fix into the upcoming merge window, let's
stick with the temporary buffer approach. Thanks!
