Use scnprintf() in get_modalias() to return the number of characters actually written to the destination buffer. Also reserve space for the trailing newline in modalias_show() and append it explicitly, instead of using strcpy() and relying on the formatted modalias to fit within PAGE_SIZE. While the current code is safe, this makes the sysfs buffer handling more explicit and consistent.
