As to me the helpers

inline void
tt_uuid_to_string(const struct tt_uuid *uu, char *out)
{
	snprintf(out, UUID_STR_LEN + 1,
		"%08x-%04x-%04x-%02x%02x-%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x",
		uu->time_low, uu->time_mid, uu->time_hi_and_version,
		uu->clock_seq_hi_and_reserved, uu->clock_seq_low, uu->node[0],
		uu->node[1], uu->node[2], uu->node[3], uu->node[4], uu->node[5]);
}

should had been banned from the begining, length of output buffer
must be explicitly passed instead, ie

	buf[UUID_STR_LEN+1];
	tt_uuid_to_string(uu, buf, sizeof(buf));

but this is obviously unrelated to the series itself just wonder who
ever came up with such api at all, since it is just a bug lurking
around waiting to zap the caller's stack.

The series is good, thanks Vlad! Ack.
